As I don't fancy visiting them all to find out? I'm lazy

And we are doing cocktails for Christmas (I'm teetotal)

I've seen little individually wrapped shot glasses of stuff in Home Bargains before.

Sainsbury's have mini bottles of a few spirits, definitely lots of types of gin!

Oh sorry I meant the little cup that is a measure rather than the alcohol

There's not really a standard definition of shot - it can vary from 25, 30, 50ml - so they're a bit pointless anyway.
And you can easily McGuyver a measure if you want to use a standard volume. Then you avoid a crazy trip.

You could get a medicine measure from the chemist

Google suggests Waitrose might have them. Hope you manage to find one!

Don't you have any measuring spoons or cups? A standard shot is 25ml, a double 50 ml

They're called jiggers OP

I ordered mine from amazon because dh is very generous with his gin measures and I was wankered after 1 🤣

Just eyeball it or use the cap

Palavah · 21/12/2020 17:38

Sainsburys stores with a home section may have them

Use the little top off the cocktail shaker, that's a single measure.

MissKittyCat · 21/12/2020 17:48

I got one in Sainsburys. It was in the drinks aisle.

HappyHomeWorker · 21/12/2020 17:49

Measuring spoons do the same job surely?

CommunistLegoBloc · 21/12/2020 17:52

Measuring jug, spoons, even weighing it. Or the top of the shaker.

WankPuffins · 21/12/2020 17:57

Reading this, I know realise where I've always gone wrong with spirits and why I don't like them was filling half the glass Blush
