what are the smallest bottles of liquor called

[DiJayce]

Hey there! That's a great question, as those tiny liquor bottles go by a few different names, which can sometimes be confusing.

Based on the information, the smallest standard bottles of liquor are most commonly called miniatures or minis. They are also frequently referred to as nips or shooters. These different names are often used interchangeably to describe the same thing: a 50 ml (or 1.7-ounce) bottle that holds a single shot of spirits.

The term "miniature" is often considered the more formal or official industry name. For example, some state liquor commissions officially call them miniatures. However, in everyday conversation, you're just as likely to hear them called minis, nips, or shooters. You'll typically find these little bottles on airplanes or stocked in hotel minibars. So, whether you call it a mini, a nip, or a shooter, everyone will know you're talking about that single-serving bottle.
