Christopher Walrath submitted a new resource:

Basic stuff, but handy to have on hand for those who don't.

Let's not forget mixing that syrup or concentrate in small quantities. (Different standards define drops as opposed to exacting w/ a syringe in mL, and to make it more interesting, all drops are not the same size.)

Metric Drop = 1/20 mL
1 Tsp = 5 mL (120 drops)
1 Tbsp. = 15 mL (.3333 Tbsp)

If you're in the U.S., and want further confusion:
The U.S. drop is defined as 1/60 of a teaspoon or 1/360 of a U.S. fluid ounce (approximately 82 ìL).
An alternate definition of the U.S. drop is 1/76 of a teaspoon or 1/456 US fl oz (approximately 65 ìL).
