Natural
"You can order sake by the glass" is also correct.
You can also say "by the bottle" but people won't know how much is in the bottle, so it's better to say "in a 1.8 liter bottle"
"by the" is used with very common objects (by the glass, by the bottle). It's very hard to describe how to use "by the."
You can use "in a" with anything (in a cup, in a 3 gallon jug, in a bowl).

"You can order cold sake in a 1.8 liter bottle."
Just a minor spelling mistake, and switch "by" with "in". Otherwise, perfect!
