or a whiskey or whatever straight alcohol of the persons choice. how many shots of alcohol will they put in there? cause it looks like more than just one shot to me.
Answers:
Officially, a shot is an ounce and a half, but you'll note that most bartenders fill the shot measure and continue to pour into the glass from the bottle as they empty the shot measure into the glass, a little bonus. It's still usually less than 2 ounces, normally 50-55 ml.
Usually it is one ounce. The ice really adds volume to it. A double would have two ounces.
One shot=1.5 ounces.
to get the most whiskey for the buck in a bar, order a manhattan up, you get 3-4 shots for the price of one shot...
]whatever[ on the rocks can be 3 to 6 shots. A drink that is straight booze is supposed to be a measured 3 shots. If you ask for a "double" it could be anywhere between 4 and 6
if they order a scotch on the rocks it is one shot, unless you use your sales skills and talk them into a double.
Some bars use a shot glass to pour right in front of you...Buyer beware!...Some glasses are 7/8 of an ounce...The glass looks huge..but it has a large solid glass bottom. It looks good, but you just been had.
You buy 8 drinks, he gets one free to sell again.
It really depends on where you go. It should be about 1.5 ounces. The ice always makes it look more though.
Most bars free pour (pour shot straight from the bottle) so you usually get a shot glass full & maybe a little extra. I was in S. Carolina and they used liquor from those little bottle you get on airplanes. So you always get the same amount in each shot or mixed drink (no extra if the bartender likes you)
