Ingredients

• Here are some good translations for the kind of measurements found in cocktail recipes.

Preparation

Step 1

Basic Measurements:
1 dash = 4 to 5 drops = 1/6 teaspoon
3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon
1 tablespoon = 1/2 oz

1 pony = 1 oz
1 oz = 2 Tablespoons

1 jigger = 1-1/2 oz

1 cup = 8 oz

1/2 fresh lime = 1/2 oz juice or 1 teaspoon
1/2 fresh lemon = 1-1/2 teaspoons

1/2 fresh lemon = 1/2 to 3/4 oz juice

Dash: This measurement is often used for tiny amount of liquid ingredients.

Teaspoon (tsp): One teaspoon of liquid amounts about 1/6 oz.
1 tsp = 1/6 oz or 1/3 tablespoon (Tbsp)

Some bars use BAR SPOON instead of teaspoon, but the measure is nearly identical, so don't worry about it. Most barspoons have twisted handles.
