Curious about measures and how these relate to suggested barware. For example, a Bay Breeze, quite delicious I might add, has the following ingredients and quantities:

1 2⁄3 fl oz Ketel One Vodka
2 2⁄3 fl oz Cranberry juice (sweetened)
1 1⁄6 fl oz Pineapple juice

Tallying these one finds a total of 5 1/2 fl oz. Placing these in a Collins glass, typically measuring 10 to 14 fl oz produces a drink far less than a full glass.

Is ice, therefore, to total from 4.5 to 8.5 fl oz?

Thank you. Cheers!

I target ingredients of 165ml (5.8oz) which, with the dilution added by shaking, will fill an ice-filled 12oz Collins glass.
