Multi-Size Bottles
Same brand, different container sizes. How PourCost handles 750ml, 1L, and handles in one inventory entry.
Updated May 6, 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 multiple sizes, not two inventory entries.
The mental model
Product Size
The container size you buy. 750ml bottle, 1L bottle, 1.75L handle, 12oz can, case of garnish.
Pour Size
How much you pour per drink. Standard spirit pour is 1.5oz; wine is 5 to 6oz; a dash is roughly 1/32oz.
Why one ingredient, multiple sizes
The brand is the same. The cost per ounce is the same when you normalize. Splitting them into separate ingredients fragments your recipes and your invoice matching. Instead, the ingredient owns a list of available sizes, each with its own product cost.
How to add another size
- Open the ingredient.
- Scroll to Sizes and tap the plus.
- Pick the container (1L, 1.75L, custom ounces) and enter your cost.
- Save. Recipes can now reference this ingredient at any of its sizes.
