                                The standard pour for a single shot of vodka in the United States is 1.5 fluid ounces, equivalent to 44 milliliters. However, this measurement is not universal and can vary significantly depending on the country or even the bar you visit. This variability highlights the importance of understanding standard and non-standard pours, especially for home mixologists and travelers.
