U.S. Alcohol bottle size question

[seashell724]

We are getting a gift basket made and want some alcohol included. However, we want various kinds and not a lot of each. In Canada we have half bottles which are 375 mls and normally around $10-$20 depending on what it is.
Does the states have these half bottles as well?
Thanks!

They exist, but are hard to find and you won't have much selection if you can manage to locate some.

Do a search for Liquor One - it's a liquor delivery service in Florida. It shows all the various American liquors available down there.

Compared to Canada, it's an enormous selection!

Thanks.
I will check those sites out.
Half bottle sizes are pretty common here. If you can't easily find half bottles what are the smaller sizes you can get?

750mL bottles are by far the most common sizes you'll find. 375mL are available at some places...usually behind the counter of a liquor store or such. As mentioned before, the selection will tend to be smaller and skewed towards the cheaper liquors. Compared to the 750mLs (often referred to as a 'fifth'), they're relatively tough to find...many places that carry the larger sizes do not carry the smaller ones.

In terms of other smaller sizes, the only other small bottles i've seen are the ~2oz airline-size bottles. If you want to go bigger, many spirits are available in a 1.75L bottle (usually called a 'handle').

Bummer. I guess I may have to bring my own along then.
Thank you so much for the detailed info. ChloroFiend!
