A metering device for liquids, particularly liquors and alcoholic drinks, is shaped for application to a bottle or other liquid container for pouring metered amounts of the contents thereof into a glass. The device comprises a cylindrical metering chamber having openings on opposite bases and valve members for alternately opening these openings. The valve members are actuated in unison by gravity-operated members arranged on one end of a control lever having the other end journalled to the valve members. When the bottle is progressively tilted to pour its contents into a glass the metering chamber is filled as soon as the bottle is inclined past the horizontal, and then the gravity-operated members suddenly cause closing of the communication between the metering chamber and the bottle and opening of the metering chamber to the outside, thus causing pouring of the metered amount into the glass.
