measures

What is the correct spirit measure for spirits in a restaurant and what is the correct measure for drinks like port and vermouths?

[toneless]

All licensed premises must dispense Gin, Whisky, Rum and Vodka in volumes of 25ml or 35ml (or multiples thereof ) using a stamped measure and there should be a notice on the premises declaring the chosen volume (you can't mix the volumes).

The industry standard is to sell all other spirits in the chosen volume but it is not a legal requirement. If the quantity of the product sold is declared on the price list then a stamped measure must be used.

If you mix any three spirits or more they do not need to be measured.

Port and Vermouth is usually served in a 50ml measure but this is not a legal requirement.

[heathfield]

Anything above 22% ABV is classed as a spirit and should be served as 25ml or 35ml measures, as Toneless says. With an ABV below 22%, measures should be 50ml or multiples thereof.
