Correct: Otro / otra, por favor.

Spanish needs gender: otro or otra, not a fixed English calque.

Bartenders hear otra and otro constantly during shared rounds. Pointing at your empty glass plus otro, por favor is enough. Match gender to the drink; Latin American Spanish does not need vosotros here.
