Count the pour
House table, not an IBA lock:
| Part | mL | fl oz |
|---|---|---|
| Beam White (house 1 part) | 45 | 1.5 |
| Ginger ale (house 3 parts) | 135 | 4.5 |
45 mL of 40% White is about one US drink. The ginger ale is mixer English unless that bottle prints ethanol. A 355 mL 5% RTD can is a different drink count — read that can. A 750 mL 40% bottle is about 17 × 1.5 oz pours.
