Tag: Nip bottle

A 50ml miniature bottle, commonly known as a 'nip' or 'airplane bottle,' contains approximately 1.7 ounces of liquor. This is slightly more than the standard 1.5-ounce shot used in the United States, meaning a mini bottle is indeed a full shot and then some.

According to the BinWise blog, a miniature or 'nip' liquor bottle contains exactly 50 mL of alcohol. This common measurement is equivalent to one standard U.S. shot, but its meaning can vary depending on the type of alcohol and where you are in the world. Understanding this volume is key for everything from mixing cocktails to monitoring your intake.
