It's not easy to work out the mix in the cans but doing some rough maths I think it's just over 30 mls of gin and 120 mls of tonic to make up a 250ml can. So 4:1.


Many years ago, gin (25mil standard pub measure) was served in a wine glass with a small (125ml) bottle of tonic but making a long drink has become a lot more popular recently.

I think I confused myself yesterday. I know I said my maths was rough but goodness knows what I was thinking of.:o:eek:


There must be more than 25mls in a can. The standard 25mls single shot measure is 0.9 units but the cans contain 1.25 units. So as I said yesterday, over 30 (close to 35mls) of gin for 1.25 units. So a 250 ml can 1 measure (35mls) of gin and 215 mls of tonic. That's 1:6 in round figures.

I've never heard of a pub legally selling 20ml measures. It has to be 25mls or 35mls and measured with an optic or a jigger.
