Conversion of Measurements

"I always thought that learning a few measurements was very usefull"

Here follows a brief conversion table for you, only one thing to consider is that a USA oz is only slightly smaller than the UK, plus the ml measures have been rounded up very slightly so there is no decimal point. This is a rough guide.
I don’t know why some people say fancy a dram because it’s the smallest measurement known to man and would take over eight drams to get only one oz of booze, and in Scotland they even say “a wee dram”. I think a Scottish Dram must be different from everyone else. I've had a scottish wee dram!


Dash (1/8 Bar Spoon).................0.5 ml
Fluid Dram.............................3 ml
1 Bar Spoon (Tea spoon)................5 ml
¼ oz...................................7 ml
2 Bar Spoon (Dessert Spoon)...........10 ml
½ oz (Table spoon)....................15 ml
¾ oz..................................22 ml
1 oz (Pony)...........................30 ml
1 ¼ oz................................37 ml
1 ½ oz (Pousse-CafĂ© glass)............45 ml
1 ¾ oz................................52 ml
2 oz (Double or 2 Shots)..............60 ml
4 ¾ oz (Gill or Wine Glass)..........135 ml
8 oz (Cup)...........................228 ml
10 oz................................285 ml
17 oz................................500 ml
20 oz ( 1 Pint)......................570 ml
24 oz................................700 ml
26 oz................................750 ml
35 oz................................1000 ml (1 Liter)
48 oz................................1300 ml (1.3 Liter)

Its a simple post this time, but one that might come in handy (maybe)
