How many drinks are in a 1.75 liter vodka handle?

Answered by Michael Weatherspoon

When it comes to determining the number of drinks in a 1.75-liter handle, it's important to consider the typical serving size for . Cocktails usually call for about two ounces of booze each, which means that we need to calculate how many two-ounce servings we can get from a 1.75-liter bottle.

A 1.75-liter bottle is equivalent to 1750 milliliters. To convert this to ounces, we need to know that there are approximately 29.5735 milliliters in an ounce. So, 1750 milliliters divided by 29.5735 milliliters per ounce gives us approximately 59.18 ounces.

Now, let's divide the total number of ounces by the typical cocktail serving size of two ounces. 59.18 ounces divided by 2 ounces per cocktail equals approximately 29.59 cocktails.

However, it's important to note that a 1.75-liter bottle usually contains 40 1.5-ounce shots, not cocktails. So, if you're measuring out 1.5-ounce shots, you would get 40 shots from a 1.75-liter bottle.

To summarize:

– If you measure out 1.5-ounce shots, you will get approximately 40 shots from a 1.75-liter bottle.
– If you mix cocktails that usually call for two ounces of booze each, you will get approximately 29 cocktails from a 1.75-liter bottle.

It's also worth mentioning that if you opt for a standard 750-milliliter bottle instead, you will have less available. A 750-milliliter bottle is equivalent to 0.75 liters, which is 750 milliliters or 25.3605 ounces.

Using the same calculations, we can determine that a 750-milliliter bottle would yield approximately 16.78 1.5-ounce shots or approximately 12.68 two-ounce cocktails.

The number of drinks you can make from a 1.75-liter vodka handle depends on whether you are measuring out shots or mixing cocktails. If you measure out 1.5-ounce shots, you will get 40 shots. If you mix cocktails that call for two ounces of booze each, you will get approximately 29 cocktails. On the other hand, a standard 750-milliliter bottle would yield around 17 shots or 12.5 cocktails.
