About these units
Dram (dr)
The fluid dram is a small historical unit equal to 1/8 of a US fluid ounce or 3.6967 mL (US), with slightly different imperial values. It originated in apothecaries and early pharmaceutical texts, where drams measured potent liquid medicines, tinctures, and extracts. In daily life, drams appeared in old cocktail recipes, medicinal syrups, and household remedies. However, the inconsistency between US and UK drams, along with the rise of the metric system, pushed it out of modern use. Today, the dram survives mostly in whiskey culture—where a "dram" informally means a small pour, not a precise measurement—and in historical studies of medicine.
Taza (Spanish) (taza)
A taza is a Spanish cup commonly defined as 250 mL, though older regional variations ranged between 200 and 300 mL. Used extensively in Spanish and Latin American cooking, baking, and beverage preparation, the taza serves a role similar to the US or metric cup. Because many Spanish recipes rely on the taza, understanding its modern standardized value helps ensure accurate international recipe translation. It also reflects how culinary practices shape measurement conventions.
