Measuring When Preparing Mixed Drinks

Tip of the Day:

As promised, I will publish numerous recipes for drinks that might add a little pizzazz to your Brunch or Party. So my tip today will have to do with drink making and measuring.

Most drink recipes indicate ingredients by ounces. It is recommended that you purchase a jigger… a metal two sided measure. It has a 1 ounce side. So if your recipe calls for 1.5 ounces… simply fill it once to the 1 oz line and halfway to the line the second time.

Many people ask just how much is in a shot…1 shot equals 1.5 ounces.

Hope this helps!
