How Many Shots Do You Get In A 750 Ml Bottle Of Liquor?

When it comes to hosting a party, whether that be someone's birthday, football Sunday, or a nice dinner, it can be stressful thinking about the alcohol side of planning. How much liquor will you need? Well, one great piece of information to help is knowing how many shots come in your standard 750-milliliter bottle of liquor.

There are a little over 16 shots in a 750-milliliter bottle of alcohol, with one shot typically being an ounce and a half of liquor. Now, if you are hosting a much larger party you may want to get a larger bottle of alcohol. If that's the case, then it's good to know that a liter has 22 shots, a magnum — or 1.5 liters — has around 33 shots, and a half gallon will have 39.

Now on your next trip, you'll know just the amount you need to have a perfectly stocked bar for hosting. However, you may also want to know how much you should put in your cocktails.

There are a wide variety of cocktails out there — whether they are muddled or have infused syrups for their flavor — but many usually have a sweet and tart aspect to them, such as a Mojito, Sangria, Cosmopolitan, and Mai Tai. They may seem complicated to do when watching the bartender make them, but in reality, most follow a simple recipe.

Usually, a cocktail will have 2 parts alcohol (such as vodka, gin, and tequila), 1 part sweet (simple syrup, honey, liqueur), and something tart, which is likely to be a lemon or lime. In other words, you would need 2 ounces of alcohol, and 1 ounce each of sweet and tart!

Knowing these simple bits of information will go a long way with your guests, as the combinations are endless! I love pineapple juice with vodka and Sprite, or a Moscow mule made with gin, both of which can be made following the amounts listed above!
