A gill is a traditional unit of liquid volume used historically in the United States and United Kingdom, primarily for measuring alcoholic beverages. One US gill equals exactly 118.294 milliliters, or one-quarter of a US pint. The term "gill" comes from the Old French "gille" meaning a wine measure. While rarely used in modern commerce, the gill remains relevant in historical contexts, traditional bartending, and some regional applications. The Imperial gill, used in the UK, is larger at 142.065 milliliters, so it's important to specify which system is being used.

It is universally used in scientific, medical, and culinary applications worldwide. The milliliter's decimal relationship to other metric units makes it ideal for precise measurements and calculations. In modern beverage service, cocktail recipes, and food preparation, milliliters have largely replaced traditional units like gills, though understanding historical conversions remains valuable for classic recipes and historical research.
