If your recipe is from Australia, New Zealand, Canada or the UK, 250 mL is their cup. Those countries define a metric cup as 250 mL, so "1 cup" in that recipe already means 250 mL and you can measure it as written.
In US measures, 250 mL is 1 cup + 1 Tbsp (251 mL). The metric cup is 13.4 mL larger than a US cup, a little less than one tablespoon. In soup or rice that gap rarely matters; in a cake with several cups of liquid, add the spoon.
Many juice boxes and small cartons hold 250 mL, which is 8.45 fl oz, slightly more than an 8 oz cup. See cups to mL for the US, label and metric cup side by side.
