PS: I have the correct answer. The others are much too difficult if your hammered!

Answer 2

You know when you make orange juice from a frozen can? It says "add three cans of water to one can of frozen concentrate." So in cocktail terms, that's three parts water to one part juice, and the "part" is the volume of the can. So it doesn't matter how big or small the "part" is, as long as you measure everything the same. So a recipe that calls for 1 part vodka to two part soda, might be 1 shot glass of vodka & 2 shot glasses of soda.

Answer 3

Basically, when they talk about "part" it is a measurement. Most mixed drinks involve one ounce of liquor. That doesn't mean one part, though. Now, if you making a two ounce drink, and it says "one part rum, one part cola" then yes, it would be one ounce of each. It depends on the amount of drink you are making, and what kind of drink you are making. Many drinks involve half parts, 1/4 parts, etc.

Also, don't drink a drink for content. Drink a drink for taste. Many drinks taste better with more alcohol, some taste better with less alcohol.

As always, never drink and drive. You might hit a bump and spill your drink. And, that's alcohol abuse.

Answer 4

it is a proportion/measurement thing. It could be 1 oz or 1 cup, etc. For example when making margaritas I use the following logic:

Serving Size - 1 glass

I use 1 shot glass of tequila + 3 shot glasses of mix.

i.e. 1 part tequila & 3 parts mix. the part is the shot glass

Serving Size - 1 pitcher/blender full

I use 1/4 cup of tequila + 3/4 cup of mix.

still 1 part tequila & 3 parts mix. the part is 1/4 cup.

the "part" is always the same for each type of thing you are adding, be it a shot glass, 1oz, 1/2 cup etc.

Answer 5

Whatever
It is a proportion
One bottle vodka, one bottle of gin = one mix =one two bottle sized hangover
Alternatively try the russian country cocktail one part vodka, one part vodka and one part something else use stomah to mix by the time you get to the something else you forget what it was supposed to be and don't really care anyway

Answer 6

1 part could be 1 ounce or 1 gallon. All the recipe means is the proportion of one ingredient compared to another.

Answer 7

LOL basically however much you decide. One part of vodka to one part of oj means if you use half a cup of vodka, use half a cup of oj. But don't get carried away and just use the alcohol just to use it.

Answer 8

It's basically half and half. If it was 3 parts you would add the three things equally. So if you had 1 ounce vodka you would add another ounce of watever and another one ounce of the 3rd ingredient. And so on....

Answer 9

The "part" actually has no certain set amount. It is just relative to the other ingredients....for example, if you are making a mixed drink and you want one part whiskey to two parts coke then you would have twice as much coke as whiskey. You could also think of it as just equal amounts....one part of this equals one part of that....two parts is just double that amount.

Answer 10

One part is relative to the amount of the other ingredients, although the ingredient designated as "one part" is the one with the smallest amount. "Two parts" means twice as much as the ingredient with "one part," whatever measure you decide one part should be.
