There's no doubt that we are not going to have the same ratings next year that we have this year. We're not, the CNN chief told an investors conference. Donald Trump's flame-throwing U.S. presidential campaign has been a ratings boon for CNN and rival news networks.
When mixing a single drink, one part is usually the equivalent of 1 ounce. A classic vodka martini, for example, uses six parts of vodka and one part of dry vermouth, which is the equivalent of 6 ounces of vodka and 1 ounce of dry vermouth. To make a pitcher of martinis using 1/2-cup measurements as the parts instead of ounces is the same as mixing 3 cups of vodka and 1/2 cup of dry vermouth.
The actual amount of ounces in a cup varies depending on what is being measured. Dry ingredients, such as flour or sugar, tend to weigh less per ounce than solids and heavier liquids, such as butter or honey. For example, one-third cup of brown sugar equals 2.58 ounces, while one-third cup of honey equals 4 ounces.
