MEASURING
______________
Even the most professional bartender measures the ingredients of
every drink, even though experience may permit some to do this by
eye and by skillful freehand pouring. However to make a perfect
drink every time, measure all ingredients. Remember, too, that
many drinks can be spoiled by being too strong as well as too weak.
Some standard bar measures:
1 Dash..................................1/6 teaspoon (1/32 ounce)
1 Teaspoon (bar spoon)..................................1/8 ounce
1 Tablespoon............................................3/8 ounce
1 Pony....................................................1 ounce
1 Jigger (barglass)..................................1-1/2 ounces
1 Wineglass..............................................4 ounces
1 Split..................................................6 ounces
1 Cup....................................................8 ounces
