Answer by mattyb781
It’s basically an undefined unit of measure, whatever you want that unit to be. So say your recipe says “add one part vodka to two parts orange juice”, if you use 2 ounces of vodka, you’ll want to use 4 ounces of orange juice.

Answer by crazyem
it depends on how much you’re making. a part is relative. say your recipe is one part rum, two parts juice and two parts gin. and you want to make a pitcher of 40 ounces, that’s 8 oz rum, 16 oz juice and 16oz gin. if it’s a 15 oz glass, then it’s 3oz of rum, 6 oz of juice and 6 oz of gin.
