About these units
Centiliter (cL)
A centiliter equals 1/100 of a liter and is commonly used in beverage labeling, especially in Europe. Alcohol content, soft drink servings, and cooking measurements often appear in centiliters due to its convenient scale for small but not tiny volumes. Many European recipes also use cL because the metric system simplifies culinary measurement. Bartenders frequently use 2 cL or 4 cL pours for spirits, making the centiliter central to mixology and hospitality industries. The unit's casual everyday adoption shows how cultural preferences influence the popularity of particular metric subdivisions.
Fluid Ounce (US) (fl oz (US))
A US fluid ounce is approximately 29.5735 milliliters. It is not a unit of weight, despite sometimes being confused with the avoirdupois ounce. In beverage serving sizes, cooking, and pharmaceuticals, the fluid ounce provides a flexible unit for small to medium volumes. It serves as the basis for bartending measurements, packaging labels, and nutritional information. Its precise value derives from the US gallon, making the fluid ounce a key link in the US customary volume system.
