half gallon

Two quarts combined

A half gallon is a unit of liquid volume equal to two quarts or 64 fluid ounces—half of a gallon.

In the U.S., it's a common size for milk, juice, and ice cream containers: I picked up a half gallon of orange juice.

Also written as one word or hyphenated: halfgallon, half-gallon.
