If you're making large batches, you don't want to measure in drops or volume. You will want to measure by weight. I assure you it is not as complicated as it sounds.
1. You will need a scale that measures to one hundredth of a gram (0.01g). If you are in the US, the best low-cost scale I have found is the GHP SF-400D which is currently $34.94 on Amazon. I say this is the best one I have found because an important feature is that the scale stays on until you turn it off. (Sometimes it takes time to measure out a dense oil like Sandalwood or Vetiver and the last thing you want is the scale turning off and clearing the measurement while you're still measuring.)
2. The next thing you need to know is the specific gravity (or density) of the oils you are weighing. Specific gravity measurements use water as the density standard. Water's specific gravity is 1.000 g/mL. This means that 1 mL of water weighs exactly 1 gram.
Some essential oil retailers will share the specific gravity for essential oil batches on their website. Otherwise, you'll need to look it up in a book, such as Fenaroli's Handbook of Flavor Ingredients, or look it up online.
Peppermint essential oil has an approximate specific gravity of 0.902 g/mL. This means that Peppermint oil is less dense than water (causing it to float on water's surface). And this means that if you measure 0.90 g in weight of Peppermint on your scale it will be pretty darn close to 1 mL in volume.
3. Now you just need to do some simple conversions to get the weight for the volume you need. You said that you're looking to measure in fluid ounces. So it's important to know that:
1 fl oz = 29.5735 mL
Here is your simple formula:
number of fl oz × conversion factor to mL × specific gravity = grams of essential oil
If you want 1 fl oz of Peppermint, this is how you would get the weight:
1 × 29.5735 × 0.902 = 26.68 g of Peppermint
That is a lot easier than counting about 600 drops!
