What cocktail is the best?
Fresh ingredients make the most delicious cocktails. They should be interesting in taste and well-balanced.
The most important thing when mixing drinks is to use quality spirits. If you are using cheap vodka, you might as well drink water.
How can I tell if a drink has too much alcohol?
Drinks with more alcohol are stronger than those with less. The amount of alcohol in a drink is measured in proof. One proof equals one percent alcohol for each 100g grain alcohol volume. So a 12 oz. A bottle of wine will have ten proofs. A 16 oz. Beer would be 13 proofs and 40 oz. 45 proofs of Scotch would equal a bottle.
