So, how many ounces in a martini? The honest answer is: enough to make you feel sophisticated. Usually 3 to 4 ounces of liquid, served in a glass that could hold twice that. It’s a beautiful lie.
Next time you order one, remember: you’re not just drinking—you’re participating in a tiny, alcoholic history lesson. And you’re getting about three ounces of liquid legend.
Now go forth and sip confidently. Just don’t spill it. Those glasses are treacherous.
