Googling, apparently it's 1.5 L. Which is a loooot. If you had asked me to guess, I'd have thought it was more on the order of less than 5 shots.

But rather perplexingly, a handle can also be a mere 285 mL. In the Northern Territory in Australia, "handle" is used to refer to what most other states call a "pot" or a "middy", primarily for beer. Inconsistent terms for the size of beer are...a thing, in Australia. The smallest size being a "pot" or "middy" varies by state, but in South Australia it's called a "schooner". Very confusing, because in all other states schooner is 425 mL, the next size up. SA calls that a "pint", which other states call the next size up from that. But at least these inconsistencies are all just shifting by one size. The difference between a handle of vodka or a handle of NT beer is enormous. Very interesting.
