How many ounces are in a shot? A standard shot is 1.5 ounces of liquid. However, in many alcoholic mixed drinks, 1.25 ounces of hard liquor is considered a shot. A shot of espresso is often considered to be 1 ounce.
Without changing the size of the shot glass, however, the amount of alcohol in a shot can go as high as 95%, or 2.85 standard drinks. This means, for instance, that if you have one shot of 190-proof Everclear, you have consumed 2.85 times as much alcohol as you would if you had one shot of 72-proof whisky.
