How much is a finger of brandy?

Answer 1

put your finger horizontally across the bottom of the snifter and pour until it gets to the top of your finger. it's a colloquial term and not necessarily an accurate measurement. Treat yourself generously and pour liberally. Turn the snifter sideways and pour brandy in until its just at the lip of the glass. you should then be able to roll the glass on the table without any liquor spilling out. that's a healthy serving
