Multi-Size Bottles

Same brand, different sizes. How PourCost keeps 750ml, 1L, and handles under one ingredient.

Updated October 2, 2026

Most bars carry the same spirit in more than one size. House gin in 750ml for the call shelf and 1.75L handles for the well. PourCost treats those as one ingredient with more than one size, not two separate entries.

The mental model

Product Size

What you buy it in. 750ml bottle, 1L bottle, 1.75L handle, 12oz can, half-barrel keg.

Pour Size

How much goes in the drink. A standard spirit pour is 1.5oz, a glass of wine is 5 to 6oz, and a dash in PourCost is 0.5ml.

Why one ingredient, multiple sizes

It is the same liquid. Splitting it into two ingredients clutters your Bar Inventory and makes recipes harder to keep straight. Instead, one ingredient holds a list of sizes, each with its own cost.

How to add another size

  1. Open the ingredient, open its menu, and tap Edit.
  2. Scroll to Sizes and tap the plus.
  3. Pick the size (1L, 1.75L, and so on) and enter your cost for it.
  4. Save.

Tip

Cost per ounce typically varies a little across sizes. A 1.75L handle is usually cheaper per ounce than a 750ml. Compare each size's cost per ounce to see what the volume discount is really worth.
