A standard 750ml bottle of tequila—the kind you’ll find on every back bar and in every liquor store—holds exactly 17 standard shots. Each shot is defined as 1.5 ounces, or about 44 milliliters. That’s your baseline, your North Star.
But here’s where it gets fun. A “shot” can be a generous pour at home or a stingy one at a club. If you’re a fan of the caballito—that tiny, fluted glass meant for sipping—you might pour closer to an ounce. That bumps you up to around 25 servings from the same bottle.
For the 1 liter bottles (1,000ml), you’re looking at roughly 22 standard shots. The bigger the bottle, the more friends you can invite to the party.
