128 FLUID OUNCES = 1 Gallon

              PARTS, FL. OZ.         BATCH, 5*128=640 FL. OZ.

strawbrr          3
bluebrr           2
lime juice        2
simple syr.       3
ice               6
-----------------------------------------------------------------
TOTAL            16                               640

Is this enough that you can figure out the rest?
