Well, let's talk about the tiny titan of tipples, the pocket-sized party starter: the nip! While the provided articles are excellent at teasing us with titles like "Guide to Liquor Bottle Sizes: From Nips to Magnums," they seem to have forgotten to include the actual guide part, leaving us hanging.
Not to worry, I can fill in the blanks. A nip, also known as a miniature, is the smallest common size for a liquor bottle. It holds a mighty 50 milliliters of liquid. In U.S. customary units, that's about 1.7 fluid ounces.
To put that into perspective, it's just a splash more than a standard 1.5-ounce shot. This makes it the perfect size for sampling a new spirit without committing to a whole bottle, for travel, or for when you just need a very, very small drink. It's less of a "pour" and more of a "plink."
