Bar Measurements Conversion Table

Measurements

Source: DrinkMixer.com, Bartenders Guide

Unfortunately, there is no single units of measures in use world wide. This measurement conversion table was made to help you determine measurements in different units.

Using definite measures in recipes make them more difficult to create by someone who uses different measures, therefore a good bartender should always use relative measures in their recipes.

If proportional units are used, the drink creator can rest assured that where ever the drink is mixed, it tastes the same, and that should be the ultimate goal for everyone who creates mixed drinks.
