Savoy Cocktail Book measurement question

[kvltrede]

I just found a nice copy of the reissued Savoy Cocktail Book. Some recipes are written for more than a single cocktail, usually for "six people", and a "glass" is a common measurement in these . Anybody know how many ounces that is?

I thought it might simply indicate an eight oz cup but that usually adds up to well over a three or four oz cocktail per person. Perhaps my assumption that the recipe means to provide one drink per person is in error...

Anybody know what Mr. Craddock intended?

Thanks.

This "glass" (or wineglass) should be 2 oz. Less than "large cocktail glass." (see Jerry Thomas' Martinez Cocktail)
