what exactly is the measure for a "shot"?

Question

wondering what is considered the proper measure is for a shot of alcohol. also how many pours can one get out of a .750 & 1.0 ltr?

Answer 1

1.5 oz.

Answer 2

An official shot is 1 oz. There are about 25 shots in a fifth (750 mls).

Answer 3

the exact measure for a shot is 1 oz. most bars usually pour 1.5 oz in a drink.
if you are looking for the measurements of shots then a 750 will give 25.368 ounces, and a liter will give 33.824 ounces.

Answer 4

The truth is a shot is 1 oz approximately. Trying to pour that much in one shot could prove to be fatal.

Answer 5

I have no idea what the US use as a regular shot, but over here its 25ml in some bars and 35ml in others. Around 21 shots using 35ml measures and 30 using 25ml.

Answer 6

A shot is 1 oz.

That would give you 25.368 shots in a .750 liter bottle and 33.824 shots in a liter bottle.

Answer 7

1 ounce is 1 shot. use a measurement shot glass.

Answer 8

What is a standard drink in the United States?

A standard drink is equal to 13.7 grams of pure alcohol or

12-ounces of beer.
8-ounces of malt liquor.
5-ounces of wine.
1.5-ounces or a “shot” of 80-proof distilled spirits or liquor (gin, rum, vodka, whiskey, etc).


from:

http://www.cdc.gov/alcohol/faqs.htm#4

so, if 1 ounce = 30 ml

then 1.5 ounces = 45 ml....

Therefore a .750 ltre should give you about 16.6 standard pours

and a 1 litre should give you 22.2 pours.

Answer 9

1 ounce = 1 shot.
Pours from .750? depends on how much you intend on using per drink!

Answer 10

usually a shot is a fluid oz. / my guess would b about 30 or 40 or somewhere close to that

Answer 11

2 ozs
