When making a mix drink,what is a part?

Question

1 part Vodka,1 part Gin, ect. So how much is a part?

Answer 1

Simply put, it is a way to figure out the percentage of each ingredient used no matter how much (or little) you are making.

Answer 2

If you want 2 gallons...........add one gallon vodka one gallon gin..............two cups, add one cup vodka, one cup gin

Answer 3

Part just means equivalent.  So if it is a 1 part: 1 part drink....use the same amounts of both alcohols.  If it is 1 part gin: 2 parts vodka.  Then you would use 1/2 the amount of gin as you used vodka.  Ex.  1/4 cup gin to a 1/2 cup vodka.  

Recipes that use "parts" instead of measurements means that you can make as small or large of quantities as you want...as long as you keep the proportions the same.

Answer 4

It depends on how much you want to make.

1 part can equal 1 shot, or 1 cup, or 1 gallon if you want.  Whenever you read "part," it means they all need to be the same, no matter how much you pour.

Answer 5

it is a measure of percentage

ie one eggcup of vodka, one eggcup of gin

or

one capful of vodka , one capful of gin

it just gives you an idea of %

one part vodka, two parts gin

may be

one eggcup of vodka , two eggcups of gin

Answer 6

What ever your making just put the same equal amount in

Answer 7

jigger:

a 11/2 -oz. (45-ml) measure used in cocktail recipes.  

a small whiskey glass holding 11/2 oz. (45 ml).

shot glass:

a small, heavy glass for serving a shot of whiskey or liquor.  



Bar Measure:

This tools is usually made of stainless steel with a 1-ounce cup at one end, called a pony, and a 1 to 2 ounce measure at the other end, called a jigger.

Alternatively you can use a standard shot glass with markings on it.

If you do not have either measure, use a standard set of kitchen measuring spoons — 3 teaspoons, or 1 tablespoon, equal  ounce, 4 teaspoons equal  ounce, and 2 tablespoons equal 1 ounce.

hope this helps.                 good luck and enjoy.
