Two fluid ounces is the 1/4 cup measure in a standard set, so this one is easy. Liquid measuring cups usually have a 2 oz line too, but at this small size the line is hard to read; the dry 1/4 cup scoop filled to the brim is more accurate.
No 1/4 cup in the drawer? Use 4 level tablespoons. That trick also works for halving: half of 2 fl oz is 2 Tbsp.
In baking, "2 oz" of butter is half a stick, which is also 1/4 cup, so the volume and the weight happen to agree. That luck does not hold for flour or sugar. See 1/4 cup in tablespoons for spoon combinations.
