My bottle, unlabelled as to alcohol content, is an 8-ounce bottle.
But that may be the biggest bottle I can buy. (I haven't looked
lately, as an 8-ounce bottle lasts me for awhile.) The peppermint
extract bottle is 1 ounce.
It's used in miniscule quantities in recipes, at least in comparison
with other ingredients. Even if you buy a huge bottle at the
warehouse club (say, something on the order of a liter or so), you're
still not using a lot in comparison with what you're mixing it into.
