How many ounces are in a shot? A standard shot is 1.5 ounces of liquid. However, in many alcoholic mixed drinks, 1.25 ounces of hard liquor is considered a shot. A shot of espresso is often considered to be 1 ounce.
A cocktail glass traditionally holds about three to five ounces of liquid. Nearly every martini recipe in nearly every cocktail guide ever published calls for about three ounces of spirits, diluted by a bit of stirring over ice and served freezing cold with a garnish. Wisdom therefore dictates that no martini needs to be poured into a glass larger than five ounces.
