what is one part in a liquor measrement?

Answer 1

1 oz aka a shot.

Answer 2

Usually an ounce, but it means you are measuring by porportion. In other words, 1 part rum to 6 parts Coke means 1 ounce rum to 6 ounces Coke. If you're making a big batch of something you would use maybe 1 cup rum to 6 cups Coke.

Answer 3

One "part" is a proportional measurement. For instance, if I mix 1 part gin with 2 parts sour mix (to make a Tom Collins), it just means that however much gin i put in, I have to use twice as much sour mix. Most of the time, we would use an ounce or a shotglass (typically 1.5 oz.) to equal one "part" when mixing one drink. If I wanted to mix one trashcan full of gin with two trashcans full of sour mix, I'd still end up with the same drink, just much bigger.

Answer 4

one part is simply referring to the proportion of one to another...so if you want to make ONE-cup of a mixed drink and the instructions say, one part liquor A to one part soda B, then you will mix one-half cup of liquor and one-half cup of soda....another example is if you want to mix a TWO-cup drink, and the instructions way mix one part liquor A, 2 parts liquor B, and 3 parts liqour C with 2 parts soda D, then:
1. sum the # of parts, in this case 8 parts
2. divide the # of parts by the the total you want to mix, in this case 2 cups
3. you should come up with one-quarter cup for each part, so every time it says "part" mix a "quarter-cup"

***when i say cup, i mean the actual measure of a cup, not a glass which is the way your very experienced bartender would do it.....hope that was simple enough for you, just remember it's all about proportions
