The optic or non-drip measure is mounted beneath an inverted spirit bottle, so that a pre-defined volume of the bottle's contents drains into the measure. Lifting a lever on the side of the measure first closes off the measure from the bottle, then dispenses the measured liquid into the glass or mixing vessel held underneath.
Beer sales in Britain and the Commonwealth are based on multiples of 1 ⁄ 3, 1 ⁄ 2, and full imperial pints. [note 2] Imperial-measure glasses were 568 mL, and metric-measure glasses round up to 570 mL. Beer bottles in the UK were rounded down to 550 mL after standard metrication was introduced in 1995, later changed to 500 mL by January 1 ...
A bar measure that is half of a jigger, used to measure a cordial. A pony traditionally held 1 imp fl oz (28 ml), and is attached to the bottom of a jigger measure, which held 2 imp fl oz (57 ml). [citation needed] In modern times, however, both the size and ratio of the jigger to pony varies widely.
The most common method of (indirectly) measuring the amount of extract in the wort or beer is by measuring the density of the liquid, often performed using a hydrometer, and converting the density measurement to extract, the mass fraction of sugars in the wort or beer. Hydrometers can be calibrated with a number of scales.
A metric fifth of Dewar's Scotch whisky. A fifth is a unit of volume formerly used for wine and distilled beverages in the United States, equal to one fifth of a US liquid gallon, or 25 + 3 ⁄ 5 U.S. fluid ounces (757 milliliters); it has been superseded by the metric bottle size of 750 mL, [1] sometimes called a metric fifth, which is the standard capacity of wine bottles worldwide and is ...
In England, a single pub measure (25 ml (0.85 US fl oz)) of a spirit contains one unit. However, a larger 35 ml (1.2 US fl oz) measure is increasingly used (and in particular is standard in Northern Ireland [37]), which contains 1.4 units of alcohol at 40% ABV. Sellers of spirits by the glass must state the capacity of their standard measure in ml.
A peg is a unit of volume, typically used to measure amounts of liquor in the Indian subcontinent. Informally, a peg is an undefined measure of any alcoholic drink poured in a glass. The terms "large (bara) peg" and "small (chota) peg" are equal to 60 ml and 30 ml, respectively, [1] with "peg" alone simply referring to a 60 ml peg. [2]
