Depends on the recipe man. If you have four ingredients and one is one part, another is two parts and the other two are each one part then one part would mean a quarter of whatever glass size you are using. Two parts in this case would mean half. They do this so you can switch up the glass size.

Yeah a "part" is just a relative measurement. If the ingredients are all "1 part", then it's an equal amount of everything. If one ingredient is "2 parts", and the rest are "1 part", then you use twice as much of the first ingredient as everything else.

Some drinks require specific measurements to build, others can be built using as much volume as you require. When you see ingredients listed as "parts", then it's up to you to decide how much you want to drink!
