Convert shots ⇄ fluid ounces
Formula: 2 US shots × 44.3603 ml ÷ 29.5735 = 3 fl oz
How the shots to ounces conversion works
The conversion uses the standard pour: 1 US shot = 1.5 US fluid ounces, which is 44.3603 ml. So fluid ounces = shots × 1.5 (US), and shots = fluid ounces ÷ 1.5. UK bars measure differently — a single is 25 ml (0.845 US fl oz) and a double is 35 ml (1.183 US fl oz) — so pick the measure above.
Worked example: a cocktail recipe calling for 2 shots needs 2 × 1.5 = 3 fl oz of spirit. And 6 fl oz is 6 ÷ 1.5 = 4 US shots — or 6 × 29.5735 ÷ 25 = 7.1 UK singles.
The jigger connection: a standard double-sided jigger measures 1.5 oz on one side and 1 oz on the other, which is why the 1.5 oz shot became the US default. For millilitres, see our fluid ounces to ml converter, and for the larger measures see pints to ml.
