What constitutes a part when making alcoholic beverages?

Answer 1

A part can be any measure. For example, a 252 is a shooter. The instructions say to mix equal parts of Bacardi 151 and Wild Turkey, and serve in a shot glass. So take 1/2 of a shot of Bacardi, and mix with 1/2 shot of Turkey. Enjoy.

Answer 2

That depends on how it's used, I think. If you have a recipe for a drink that says, "One part vermouth, 2 parts gin, 3 parts tonic", for example, a part is any amount you want to use to measure. It could be an ounce, a shot, or a quart.

Think of it as if the recipe gave you proportions or percents: 1/6th vermouth, 2/6ths gin, 3/6ths tonic, or 16% vermouth, 33% gin, and 50% tonic. You pick the size of the container, based on how much you want to drink.

Answer 3

When a recipe says a part it in relationship to another item.
Example.
a recipe says.
1 part oil
1 part water
1/2 part flour
It means: if you use a cup as measurement then 1 c water
1 c oil
1/2 cup flour
It is just the ratio of the items to themselves.
The measurement can be any amount.
So its 1 gallon water
1 gal. oil
1/2 gal. flour
1:1:1/2 or 2:2:1

Answer 4

A part is like an equal part.

If you are making something with four ingredients and each one is "one part," then you would use the same amount of each one.

If the recipe calls for two part of x and three parts of y, then you probably want to know how much you will have in volume at the end, take that amount and divide it by five. (For example, if you are making five cups of something, each part would be one cup.) Then, you put two cups of x and three cups of y.

Or jiggers.

Or ounces.

Or gallons.....

Answer 5

when a recipe calls for "part or parts" it is measuring relative volume, not absolute volume. For example, 1 part vermouth to 3 parts gin, for a martini, would be 3 times as much gin as vermouth, regardless of the quantity or measure of vermouth. So, 1 ounce vermouth would require 3 ounces of gin.

Answer 6

A part is the amount you pour. Like 2 parts rum to 6 parts coke. (2 oz rum, 6 oz coke)

Answer 7

OK, the basics:

If you're making an alcoholic drink, "one part" is like a shot, but it's the same with different measurements......

Say, for example, you're making a Gin and Tonic for 4 people:

4 parts gin
12 parts tonic
squeeze of lime for each drink............

Let's break that down......

In 4 glasses, pack them with ice, and add one shot (part) of gin to each glass........
Next, place 4 shots of tonic water in the glasses and garnish with a squeeze of lime......

Say you're making Margaritas for 20,

20 (Parts or shots) Tequila
50 (parts or shots) of Margarita mix......I think you get the idea.......


So, like if you're making batches of, say, Long Island Ice Teas, you'd measure in cups:

1 cup of gin
1 cup of rum
1 cup of vodka
1 cup of tequila
1 cup of whiskey
1/4 cup triple sec
1/4 cup Coke or Pepsi.......

In this case, the "parts" are measured in cups, not shots......so a part is the same amount of liquor to the same amount of mixer or other liquors to make "mixed drinks".....Hope this helps.......Enjoy!!!
