When to use teaspoons → US fluid ounces
US teaspoons to US fluid ounces divides by 6 — six teaspoons make one fluid ounce exactly (0.00492892159375 × 6 = 0.0295735295625 L). Three teaspoons of citrus juice are 0.5 fl oz; 12 tsp are 2 fl oz, a double shot. Cocktail specs and small-batch sauces move between the two units constantly. Watch the ounce type: fluid ounces are volume, and converting teaspoons of a dense syrup to weight ounces requires the density, not this factor.
Cocktail bitters and dash-based recipes scaled up from teaspoon-level testing to fluid-ounce production batches use this conversion. 6 tsp is 1 fl oz exactly; 3 tsp is 0.5 fl oz; 12 tsp is 2 fl oz. A bartender who dials in a bitters ratio by counting teaspoons during recipe development converts to fl oz once ready to batch it in a labelled dropper bottle for service.
