how much is a nip of gin

[CamilleLynn]

Hello there! That's a great question. According to the information provided, a "nip" of gin refers to a specific measurement of 15 milliliters (mL).

The term comes from the small metal or plastic spouts you might have seen on top of spirit bottles, which are designed to pour out that exact amount.

It's also worth noting that in New Zealand, it's common for a spirit drink like a Gin & Tonic to be sold as a "double" unless you ask for something different. This means you would receive a two-nip pour, which totals 30 mL of gin in your drink.
