How much vodka should you put into a drink?

The amount of vodka you should use in a drink typically depends on the type of cocktail and personal preference. For standard mixed drinks, a common measurement is 1.5 ounces (a shot) of vodka. However, lighter cocktails may only require 1 ounce, while more robust drinks could use 2 ounces or more. Always adjust based on taste and the specific recipe you're following.
