what are mini liquor bottles called

[CassidyLynn]

Hey there! That's a great question, as those little liquor bottles go by quite a few different names.

While the most formal or official term for them is a "miniature," they have many other popular nicknames. You'll often hear them called "minis," "shooters," or "shooter bottles." Because they are a familiar sight on flights and in hotel rooms, they are also widely known as "airplane bottles" or "travel-size bottles."

Interestingly, the name can also change depending on where you are. For instance, in the New England region of the United States, they are very commonly referred to as "nips." Some people also call them "50s," which is a direct reference to their typical size of 50 ml.

So, while "miniature" is the technical term, you're likely to be understood if you use any of these other common names.
