Gin Cups to Grams
Snapshot
1 cup of gin equals 225.47 grams.
- Reference basis: 0.953 g/mL.
- Example: 2 cups = 450.94 g.
- This uses Gin at 40% ABV (not pure ethanol), so density differs from alcohol-only references.

}Explanation
US cups convert to grams by multiplying with the verified 225.5 g/cup density derived from the US cup (236.588 mL) definition and the liquid’s grams-per-milliliter ratio.
Use the calculator to translate recipe cups into grams while keeping the same density that powers the milliliter and fluid ounce families.
Gin is a distilled spirit defined by a juniper-forward botanical profile. Typically dry and aromatic, it provides structure, lift, and clarity in cocktails where botanical character is central to the drink’s identity. Practical use: Gin is primarily used as a base spirit in cocktails where aromatic precision is essential. It shines in stirred classics that emphasize clarity and balance (e.g., the Martini and Negroni), performs strongly in citrus-driven sours where its structure supports acidity, and excels in long drinks where carbonation amplifies its botanical aromas (e.g., the Gin & Tonic). Composition and sensory context: Juniper leads with piney and resinous notes, supported by herbal complexity and bright citrus peel. The profile is dry rather than sweet, with subtle spice and a clean, persistent aromatic finish that carries well in mixed drinks. This profile reflects a classic London Dry style; sweeter Old Tom or fuller, earthier styles can read slightly rounder in perceived sweetness and spice.
Gin uses 0.953 g/mL in this dataset. That makes it 4.7% lighter by volume than water at the 1 g/mL reference. On the same basis, one US cup is about 225.5 g and one US fluid ounce is about 28.18 g.
Alcohol concentration affects density: a bottle with a materially different ABV can weigh differently for the same measured volume. These figures describe a reference conversion, not a guarantee for every brand, recipe, serving temperature, or production batch.
Evidence status for Gin: medium-confidence. Dataset note: Approx density for ~40% ABV ethanol-water at room temp (used across base spirits).

Methodology
Gin density evidence
Gin uses 0.953 g/mL in this dataset. Confidence: medium. Source basis: Approx density for ~40% ABV ethanol-water at room temp (used across base spirits).
Evidence status: reference-recorded. The source note is recorded; this does not certify every preparation or measurement condition.
Brand formulation, alcohol or sugar concentration, carbonation, and serving temperature can change the weight of a measured volume. Use this value as a documented reference rather than a producer specification.
