Yes, when measuring an item there are two ways to measure, one is by weight the other is by volume!. Nearly all recipies weigh solids by weight and liquids by volume ie fl!. oz!. If this is a bar recipe for a drink you can pretty much guarentee that they mean one fluid ounceWww@FoodAQ@Com

Yes!. This is the regular sized shot in most of Europe, especially Germany!. It would be 30mL!.

In the US, a standard shot is 1!.5oz or 45mL!. This is why in the US you would order a 1 oz shot -- to differentiate it from a regular shot!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Correct!. 1 oz is actually a lot!. A tall cup of coffee is only 8 oz!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
