      Americans. And no, a US fluid ounce is just shy of three centiliters.

        But its always a guess because they never specify if they’re weight ounces or volume ounces.

          Fluid ounces (your jigger is a volume measure).

          For extra maddening credit, there’s a slightly different uk fluid ounce as well.

            I don’t own a jigger. I do own a scale.

          It’s fluid ounces, volume not weight - I have a wee measuring cup with 4 oz volume that I use to measure. So if converting, ml is what to use.

          And yes I know it’s archaic but I do love the ounces to cups to pints to quarts to half gallon doubling measuring scheme. And a serving of alcohol is defined as 1.5 oz of a vodka strength liquor here.

              80 proof. I didn’t even know vodka came in an overproof variety!

        I thought fluid ounces were flozzes?

A place for conversation about cocktails, ingredients, home mixology, the bar industry or liquor industry, glassware - this is not an exhaustive list. If you think it’s in some way related to cocktails it’s probably fine.

If you post something you didn’t create give credit whenever possible.

Pictures and recipes are encouraged when posting a drink as a standalone post. Example of an ideal drink post:

We love garnishes.

Remember the code of conduct, keep it nice. In terms of cocktails- specific etiquette that might be different from other communities:

Mentioning your blog, insta, website, book or bar is allowed, yes. For now at least, we do allow self-promotion. If it gets out of hand this might change.

A good post with a drink you don’t like is still a good post! Try not to conflate the drink and the post or poster. If someone has a relevant title, gorgeous photo and clearly formatted recipe of what you consider a truly terrible drink, a comment is more appropriate than a downvote.

On that topic: Polite critique/reviews of drinks (or posts, images, etc.) is allowed here. Encouraged , even. It’s a good tool for improving your drinks and content. Really, just be nice.
