How to calculate how many ounces of alcohol are left

That is a question bar managers and bartenders often ask themselves when they’re trying to figure out just how much inventory they have. The amount of drink left can be difficult to estimate, but there’s an easy trick you can use! In this blog post, we will share the secret behind knowing how many drinks are left in a bottle - without even opening it.

‍

Examples of practical situations where knowing the conversion of 750 ml to ounces is beneficial include cooking recipes that require precise measurements and purchasing beverages where understanding the volume can help in comparing prices and quantities.

How many ml in a fluid ounce.

A typical drink usually pours 1-ounce the requested spirit.

‍

A U.S. Fluid Ounce (oz.) equals 29.57 mL. Milliliters and fluid ounces are units of volume commonly used in liquid measurements.

‍

(For our canadian readers converting milliliters to ounces just do the operation in reverse. 1 ounce = 29.57 ml)

‍

Which means that the average shot contains 29.57 ml of alcohol. That number is relevant to everyone who handles liquor bottles. Whether you are a bartender or own a bar, this number is important if you want to know how much of your liquor bottle actually gets poured into each drink.

‍

Estimating how many ounces are left is easy.

We know the most common bottle size (750 ml and 1 liter). Now we need to know how many ounces of liquor are in the most common bottle size to calculate the number of drinks.

Despite variations in bottle shapes, they all hold the same amount of liquid, specifically 750 ml.

‍

We do this by dividing the volume of the bottle by one fluid ounce.

‍

Bottle volume ÷ 1 oz = Number of 1-oz servings

How many ounces are in 750 mL bottle?

Though there are many different alcohol metric bottle sizes, the 750 ml and 1 L bottles are most commonly used by WISK users. Let's use 750 milliliters as example.

‍

We're also going to include a calculator at the end of this article so you can rest easy.

‍

Let's say your client ordered a margarita. Your drink requires 3 fl oz. of tequila making it 88.71 mL. But how many portions are in that bottle? How much alcohol is left, and how many bottles will you need?

‍

750 ml ÷ 1 fl oz => 750 ml ÷ 29.57 mL = 25.36 1-oz portions

‍

Converting 750 ml to fluid ounces suggests there are about 25 1-ounce servings (if you round it down).

‍

Overwhelmed by tracking pours and conversions? WISK's bar inventory app offers an easy way to manage your inventory and reclaim your time.

Shot Sizes and Bottle Capacity

A standard shot size is typically 1.5 ounces, but this can vary depending on the bar or restaurant. To determine how many shots are in a bottle, you need to know the bottle size in fluid ounces.

‍

For example, a 750 ml bottle is equivalent to 25.36 fluid ounces. Using the conversion factor of 1 fluid ounce = 29.57 ml, you can calculate the number of shots in a bottle. This knowledge is crucial for bartenders to measure and pour accurate amounts, reducing waste and saving money. Additionally, understanding shot sizes and bottle capacity can help bar owners optimize their inventory and pricing strategies.

‍

How to calculate drink costs?

The formula is the following:

Bottle Price / fluid ounces= Price per ounce

‍

If you had a bottle of SAUZA - ANEJO BLACK BARREL, (at the time of writing, a bottle costs $33.73) it would cost you $3.99 or $1.33/oz.

‍

Companies have the flexibility to choose different liquor bottle sizes for various spirits, highlighting the common bottle sizes for popular types like whiskey and gin.

‍

A tad expensive for a margarita don’t you think? Ideally you want to reduce cocktail costs and increase your menu profitability. WISK can help with that.

Standard gin bottle sizes

750ml gin bottle: A 750ml gin bottle is the most prevalent size you’ll encounter. It is considered a standard and widely available option, offering a generous quantity of gin to enjoy for personal use or when entertaining guests. Larger bottles like this reduce packaging waste and overall environmental impact, while smaller bottles increase packaging relative to the liquid they contain.

‍

1 liter gin bottle: For those seeking a slightly larger gin bottle, a liter of gin provides a bit more than the 750ml size and is suitable for individuals who frequently indulge in gin cocktails or appreciate having a larger reserve on hand.

‍

Magnum: Is a 750ml times 2 its size the quantity for a bottle. 750 ml x 2 = 1.5 ml (magnum).

‍

700ml gin bottle: In certain regions, such as Europe, the 700ml gin bottle is a common size.

‍

Miniature gin bottles: Miniature or “mini” gin bottles are adorable, smaller versions of the regular sizes. This gin bottle size typically holding 50ml to 200ml of gin, these bottles are perfect for sampling different gin varieties or gifting as part of a set. A few extra bottles of these miniature gins are a great way to try new brands or flavors without committing to a full-sized bottle.
