tumblerful

One glass's worth

A tumblerful is the amount a tumbler holds—roughly eight to twelve ounces, depending on the glass.

The word measures liquids by the drinking vessel: She drank a tumblerful of water.

Like cupful or glassful, it's an imprecise kitchen measure that varies with the container at hand.
