How to Measure a Shot of Whiskey

-

Things You’ll Need

  • Whiskey

  • Shot glass

... Shot glasses are named for the sound they make when slammed down on a table.

In spite of its cultural pervasiveness as a primary unit of measuring liquor, there is no common measurement for how much a shot definitely contains. Because of this, measuring a shot of whiskey is dependent on the whim of the person pouring the drink. Despite that there is no set standard for pouring a shot of whiskey, you can still get an exact measurement on how much whiskey your own personal shot glasses will hold.
