Cocktails are usually measured using the Imperial
standard common in the US. For your convenience I will convert
some of the measurements from Imperial to Metric and give a
little explanation about the terms.

When reading the recipes, remember 1½ oz.
is usually considered to be a shot (or a jigger.) ¾ oz.
is a half-shot.
“Fill” a drink usually refers to adding enough
of a non-alcoholic mixer, such as soda or juice, to reach the
top of the glass or the designated mark.
"Dash" or "splash" refers to a couple of
dashes - just enough to add a little coloring or taste.
Many old recipes also use the old terms for drink sizes. Here
is a list to help you figure out which is which:
