Frequently asked questions
How many mL is 1 oz in bartending?
1 fl oz equals about 29.6 mL. Most US jiggers measure 1.5 oz (44 mL) on one side and 1 oz (30 mL) or 0.75 oz on the other.
How many teaspoons are in a tablespoon?
1 tablespoon equals 3 teaspoons, or 0.5 fl oz. A tablespoon is 15 mL; a teaspoon is 5 mL.
What is a "part" in a cocktail recipe?
A "part" is a ratio unit, not a fixed volume: it lets a recipe scale to any glass size. A "2:1:1" recipe poured with a 1 oz part means 2 oz, 1 oz, 1 oz; poured with a 0.75 oz part means 1.5 oz, 0.75 oz, 0.75 oz, keeping the same proportions.
