Measurements in a Cocktail

When making a cocktail you can use a measurement called a “part”. It is an inexact measurement and just refers to the amount of liquid added. It can be any amount, 1 ounce, 3 ounces, or 1 cup. The key is keeping the amounts/parts equal, so start with whatever 1 part equals. See the chart below:

“Part” Measurement

1 Drink: 1 part vodka = 1 oz. and 3 parts lemonade = 3 oz.

1 Pitcher: 1 part vodka = 1 cup and 3 parts lemonade = 3 cups

Notes

Parts in a cocktail: A part is an inexact measurement in a cocktail. It can mean 1 ounce or 1 cup, depending on how much you are making. The key is to keeping the parts equal.

Example – In this drink it calls for 1 part vodka and 3 parts fresh lemonade. If making one drink that can be 1 ounce of vodka and 3 ounces of lemonade. Or to make a pitcher that could be 1 cup of vodka and 3 cups of lemonade.
