Key to Cocktail Measurements
Our cocktail collection recipes are based on the imperial standard used predominantly in the United States. Here are the international equivalents.
Ounce or Pony
1 oz (ounce) equals 3/4 shot, jigger or pony
1 oz (ounce) equals 3 cl (centiliters)
1 oz (ounce) equals 30 ml (milliliters)
1 oz (ounce) equals 2 tbsp (tablespoons)
Shot or Jigger
1 shot equals 1 1/2 oz (ounces)
1 shot equals 4.5 CL (centiliters)
1 shot equals 45 ml (milliliters)
1 shot equals 3 tbsp (tablespoons)
Cup
1 cup equals 8 oz (ounces)
1 cup equals 24 CL (centiliters)
1 cup equals 240 ml (milliliters)
Bottle
1 bottle equals 750 ml (milliliters)
Dash or Splash
Universal terms for small amounts. There are approximately 36 dashes in one ounce. When a recipe calls for a variable amount of dashes, for example 2 - 4 dashes grenadine, this indicates that you are seasoning to taste. A splash is slightly larger than a dash, but considered to be less and 1/2 oz.
Fill
Usually designated to nonalcoholic mixers, such as juices or sodas. To fill you pour liquid into cocktail glass until it reaches the appropriate watermark.
Float
Universal term for layering 1/4 oz to 1 oz spirit on top of a prepared beverage. Best method is to pour liquor over the back side of a spoon or along rim of glass.

Another nice way to serve vodka is coring a hole into the side of a watermelon.... about the same size as the top of the bottle of vodka...... place the watermelon hole over the top of the open bottle of vodka.... make sure its pushed down to the widened part of the bottle.... turn the whole thing upside down so the bottle is sticking out the top of the watermelon and leave for approx 4 hours or until the watermelon has soaked up the vodka..... when it has soaked it all up... cut and slice the watermelon into serving size.... nice wee treat..>!!!! BEWARE these are particularly potent!!
