How Many mL in a Shot?
On this site, a standard shot uses the same fixed 1.5 US fluid ounce basis as the jigger route, which converts to 44.36 mL.
Explanation
This page exists for the head query itself. Many users are not asking for a general unit conversion yet; they first want to know the standard U.S. shot size in milliliters and how that compares with jiggers and fluid ounces.
Use the linked leaves when you need the exact math in either direction. The shot and jigger converters on this site both stay tied to the same 1.5 US fluid ounce basis, so the guide and the leaf pages do not drift into conflicting definitions.
