Other Information:
A shot glass is usually 1.5 ounces, but sometimes 2 ounces with a measuring line at 1.5 ounces. You can also get a 'short shot' glass or 'pony shot' which are 1 ounce. Pony shots are usually used with Martinis, Manhattans, and Rob Roys. A 'dash' is often used for a small amount of liquid ingredients for cocktail recipes. Approximately, there are 36 dashes in one ounce. A splash is slightly larger than a dash, but less than 1/2 oz. These are subjective measures which indicate seasoning to taste. Most cocktail liquid ingredients are measured by ounces (oz). A jigger is used to measure the ingredients and most steel jiggers allow you to measure by 1 1/2 oz. on one end and 3/4 oz. on the other end. Glass jiggers usually have only one size: 1 oz, which equals two tablespoons. One teaspoon of liquid amounts about 1/5 oz. Some bars use bar spoons instead of teaspoon, but the measurement is roughly equivalent.
