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.
