A standard miniature liquor bottle, often called a 'nip' or 'airplane bottle,' holds 50 milliliters (1.7 ounces) of liquid. This compact and convenient size makes it popular for sampling, single servings, and travel, perfectly illustrating just how big a mini bottle can be.

The first widely documented miniature bottle of whiskey, a 71ml 'Baby Powers,' was created by the Powers distillery in Dublin in 1889. This pioneering effort established a format that would become wildly popular for travel and sampling, and today, an extensive selection of 50ml bottles is available across virtually every spirit category.
