Handle of Alcohol

The typical 1.75-liter handle contains 40 1.5-ounce shots. If you’re mixing cocktails, which typically call for two ounces of booze each, you’ll get 30 drinks out of that same bottle. Pick up a standard 750-milliliter bottle, on the other hand, and you’ll be able to make just less than 17 shots or 12.5 drinks. A one-liter bottle, which you’ll find more often at most liquor stores than a true handle, will give you 22.5 shots and almost 17 drinks.
