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.
Some shot glasses contain 1.5 ounces, some contain two ounces, and some contain 50 milliliters. But for todayâs purposes, letâs define a shot as 1.5 ounces; this is the size most customers are given when they order a shot of liquor at a bar. If you do the math, one handle of liquor will yield you almost exactly 40 1.5-ounce shots. Just for the record, itâll also yield you about 30 two-ounce shots, and about 35 50-milliliter shots.
