Serious Bartender Question..... help
 

Say you are pouring a decent size shot, how many on avarage can you get out of a 5th?

Having our huge holiday bash here tomorrow night, the booze order arrived and just trying to get a good idea.

btw.. if any SE Michigan webmasters want to come hangout with about 50 half naked models, several key indusrty people... say the word.

Approx about 20-25 shots assuming they are regular sized shot glasses. Technically 25.6 but I would go with 20 since people spill and or pour a little two much.

750ml = about 20 shots

Here lets make it easy for you.

"pony shot" 0.5 jigger; 0.75 fluid ounces
"shot" 0.666 jigger; 1 fluid ounce
"large shot" 1.25 ounces
"jigger" 1.5 shots; 1.5 fluid ounces
pint 16 shots; 0.625 fifths
fifth 25.6 shots; 25.6 ounces; 1.6 pints; 0.8 quarts; 0.75706 liters
quart 32 shots; 32 ounces; 1.25 fifths

and if ur chilling the shots... u get more out of it cuz the ice melts and waters down the shots a bit

Great! thanks guys.. that helps a ton! I have 5th and half gallon bottles. I'm going to figure 1.5 once shots then.

Freezer chilling, but not over ice when I am pouring them no. But yeah.. I know what ya mean.

Should be about right then. I have 22 fifths total so we should be able to get about 450-500 decent size shots out of them. Nice! That should about do it. We have a couple hundred cans of beer and of course all the mixers. Looks like we are covered!

Thanks again!

... A fifth ... is NOT 25.6 AMERICAN SHOTS... a standard shot glass holds 1.5 oz. Most people free pour 2-3 oz when pouring into a highball. 3-4 oz when pouring into a 16 oz plastic red/blue party cup.

Around 20 shots normally.

But if you're pouring them, I'm sure you'll shave at least 5 or 6 off the top.

And then swear you're a different bartender.

Hope you have plenty of rubbers handy. Friends do not let friends get drunk and impregnate each other.

Yes and the typical american shot glass is actually a jigger.
I gave each fluid weight for a reason though, I have no idea what size glasses he was gunna use so I listed the oz.

makes sense now why i see more than one of you when we are out together

And why he see's more then one of you!

:winkwink:

LOL! Well considering theres going to be between 50-70 models and about 10 guys, I think I can get by with a 20 pack.
