When I was in high school we didn’t know how to mix drinks so we did it half and half. I can only imagine if this contained the same ratio
I tend to make “real” cocktails now but when I do go for a mixer like G&T, Dark&Stormy etc you can bet your ass the result isn’t at 7%.
I don’t know, I tend to opt for a 1:2 ratio if I’m looking to make a strong-ish mixed drink(Any less and I feel like I should just drink the whisky neat honestly). With a normal 40% ABV liquor this ends up being about 13% total. If you do a more normal 1:3 ratio it’s about 10%, so it’s weak, but it’s not that far off I guess.
Right I eyeball it so it’s hard to be sure but I’d say between 1:2 and 40% liquor probably, + lots of ice. That’s still about twice as strong as these premixeds, you’ll certainly tell the difference. I just don’t like neat liquor but I’m getting really into “short” cocktails, things like whiskey sours, basil smash, margaritas, gimlets etc where it’s mostly the main liquor with some complements.
