Splash equals how many ounces

What would be the size of an "unusual" jigger? Would a generous bar use a larger jigger? What are the UK or Japanese jigger sizes?

Joseph Kei Nagai. Sounds like my kind of drink -- especially hedged in with generous wedges of lime. Where are they serving them? Maybe professional bartenders would easily understand this recipe, but for ordinary people, this seems hard to understand. Just indicating specific quantity would be easier for us for me. Anyway, thanks again for all the help. The site quoted by Masako Sato moments ago. If that is the case, I maintain -- and always will -- that the recipe should say "one jigger" and not "one part.

It matters not that many people, apparently, use it incorrectly. Many people also say "had went" and that's also wrong. I guess that box of cookbooks and bar guides in my closet doesn't exist, then. I've never that I can recall ever seen a recipe that mixed measurements in non-specific units "parts" and specific ones splash, teaspoon, wedge I really don't understand that concept.

To my mind, it is just totally and irreparably wrong. But now it occurs to me that there might be another explanation. The goal of writing the recipe might be obfuscation rather than clarification. Even if we make the assumption that Marc Adler does, that a "part" is supposed to be the size of a shot glass, this actually makes the amount of rum in the drink no less clear. There is evidently no standard size for a shot glass in the US at least. I spoke to my ex-bartender sister about this, and she said that a shot glass is sometimes 1 ounce and sometimes 1.

She also mentioned that liquor may also be measured by the "pour" or how many seconds the bottle is inverted. The pour may be a "long pour" or a "short pour" done by counting the "seconds" quickly.

There are also several sizes of pour spouts, adding further to the confusion and opacity. In short, the recipe appears to be deliberately uninformative about how much rum is actually in the drink; it is simply twice something which is unstated. Perhaps the reason for this obfuscation is rooted in the motives of the bartender and bar owner. The liquor is the most expensive ingredient in the drink, so it is the interest of the bar owner to pour as little liquor as possible while charging as much as possible for each drink.

So if intentional obfuscation is the intent of the recipe, this uncertainty should certainly be carried over into the translation.

So my solution thanks to an off-list tipster is field research and testing! I would hope that the client would fund this valuable research, as it will certainly contribute to the high quality of the translation. Sounds like much ado about nothing, but here's one example, which took about 10 seconds to find. Reply to author. Report message as abuse. Show original message.

Hello All, In cocktail recipe, what does "part s " mean? Is this some kind of ratio? Pour 1 fluid ounce 30 mL of alcohol for a standard shot. Shot glasses can come in different shapes and sizes. If a recipe is calling for a shot of alcohol, pour 1 fluid ounce 30 mL into your drink. A double shot refers to 2 shots, which is 2 fluid ounces 59 mL. Use 1. A jigger is a measuring tool that holds a little over 1 shot of alcohol. Some jiggers hold different amounts of liquid, but a standard one is 1.

Pour 1 fluid ounce 30 mL of alcohol if your drink calls for a pony. A pony gets its name from the classic American shot glass. This amount of alcohol is slightly less than the standard shot glass used now. Use slightly less than a full shot of alcohol if your recipe calls for this measurement. Count to 1 while you pour for a splash of something. A splash is a measurement that is fairly subjective. You can standardize it slightly by counting to 1 while you pour your splash of whatever ingredient the recipe calls for.

You can add more or less if you choose to do so. Add more if you think it needs it. Cocktails often call for splashes of citrus juices, simple syrups, and berry juices.

Use 3 to 6 drops of bitters for a dash. When a recipe calls for a dash, it is most often referring to bitters in a cocktail.

A dash is another measurement that is very subjective. Add 3 to 6 drops of bitters to your drink depending on how you like your drink. Start with less and add more if you would like to. Method 2. Attach a bottle spout on liquor bottles for control during a free pour. Free pours are when you pour alcohol straight from the bottle without using a measuring tool. To give you better control, attach a meal bottle spout on the mouth of a liquor bottle before you pour. These spouts help slow down the flow of liquor.

Use a double jigger for shots and double shots of alcohol. Double jiggers have openings on both ends instead of just 1. The smaller opening holds about a shot of alcohol, and the larger opening holds about 2 shots of alcohol. Pour your alcohol into 1 side of the jigger up until the fill line. Then, pour your liquid into a cocktail glass. Pour ingredients into a cocktail beaker to measure as you pour.

Cocktail beakers hold between 3 fluid ounces 89 mL and 5 fluid ounces mL. Cocktail beakers are helpful tools to make most drinks. If you only have a few ingredients, pour them 1 at a time into a cocktail beaker.

Add up the amounts of all the ingredients that you have, and subtract them from the total as you pour them into the beaker. Use the measurements on the side of the beaker to measure each ingredient until you get to 4 fluid ounces mL.

Measure your ingredients in a measuring cup for an easy conversion. Pour your ingredients in the measuring cup 1 at a time and add them up as you go. It could also be the author's style choice, favoring a freestyle approach to cooking rather than specifying everything. Sign up to join this community.

Splashes, dashes, and, most definitely, rashes should be avoided in recipes. Pinches too, if you ask me. Yes, because they can lead to recipe failures, unintended mashes, and thus flashes, gashes, crashes and hopefully not lashes.

If you're lucky, you get hashes. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Here's what I typically use for imprecise measurements: Liquids dash : a quick shake from a bottle with a restricted top. If it doesn't have one of those plastic things in the neck of the bottle, cover the opening partially with your thumb.

I typically use a dash or a pinch. Improve this answer. Joe Joe Should I start a wiki for this, like the translation one?
