Here's how it’s done. The first thing you have to do is condition yourself to know how long it takes to pour 1 1/2 ounces (a typical shot). To do this start with filling an empty bottle with water and attaching a pouring spout.Stand over a sink, and pour the water into the cup while counting in this fashion... 1 and 2 and 3 and 4... you should get to 6 just as the water starts to pour over the top of a traditional cup. Practice this about a dozen times until you feel like you have the timing right.
