These practical retail sizes are a compact planning list. Local standards and product packaging vary by market.
| Bottle | Milliliters | U.S. fl oz | Market note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mini | 50 mL | 1.7 | Small U.S. sample bottle |
| Flask | 200 mL | 6.8 | Compact U.S. bottle |
| Half bottle | 375 mL | 12.7 | Common U.S. half-size |
| Standard 700 mL | 700 mL | 23.7 | Common UK and European size |
| Fifth | 750 mL | 25.4 | Common U.S. standard size |
| Liter | 1,000 mL | 33.8 | International retail size |
| Handle | 1,750 mL | 59.2 | Large U.S. bottle |
How the yield math works
Every bottle and pour converts to milliliters first. Usable volume equals bottle volume multiplied by bottle count, then multiplied by one minus the waste fraction.
Full pours use floor division, so a partial final pour never counts as a complete serving. The remaining volume stays in the result instead of disappearing through rounding.
Recipe yield comes from the tracked ingredient with the fewest complete servings. Each target gap is calculated on its own; untracked ingredients stay marked for a stock check.
Unit and market assumptions
U.S. fluid ounces convert with 29.5735295625 mL per fluid ounce. Waste applies to liquid inventory; counts and mass stay unchanged. The bottle chart is a practical retail reference, not a complete legal catalog.

Frequently asked questions
A 750 ml fifth pours 16 full 1.5 oz shots, a 1 liter bottle 22 and a 1.75 liter handle 39. A partial last pour is not counted.
A fifth holds 750 ml, about 25.4 U.S. fluid ounces. The name comes from the fifth of a gallon it replaced.
At a 2 oz pour, a 750 ml bottle makes 12 drinks. Switch to cocktail recipe mode to count servings from every ingredient you track and see what to buy.
Full pours use floor division, so a partial last pour never counts as a serving. The leftover volume stays in the result for the next pour or vessel.
