Reviewed by Calculator Editorial Team

This calculator helps you determine the alcohol degree of a mixed drink by calculating the weighted average of the alcohol percentages of the individual components. Whether you're a home bartender or a professional mixologist, understanding how to mix drinks properly is essential for creating balanced and enjoyable cocktails.

How to Use This Calculator

To calculate the alcohol degree of your mixed drink:

  1. Enter the volume of each liquid component in your mixture.
  2. Enter the alcohol percentage (ABV) for each component.
  3. Click "Calculate" to see the resulting alcohol degree.
  4. Review the detailed breakdown of the calculation.

The calculator will provide you with the final alcohol degree of your mixture, which is useful for ensuring your drink meets your desired strength.

Formula Explained

The alcohol degree of a mixed drink is calculated using the following formula:

Alcohol Degree = (Σ (Volume × Alcohol Percentage)) / Total Volume

Where:

  • Volume is the amount of each liquid component in milliliters (ml).
  • Alcohol Percentage is the alcohol by volume (ABV) of each component, expressed as a decimal (e.g., 40% ABV = 0.40).
  • Total Volume is the sum of all the volumes of the components.

This formula calculates the weighted average of the alcohol percentages based on the volume of each component.

Worked Example

Let's say you want to mix 50ml of vodka (40% ABV) with 100ml of orange juice (0% ABV).

  1. Calculate the total alcohol content: (50 × 0.40) + (100 × 0) = 20 + 0 = 20 ml of pure alcohol.
  2. Calculate the total volume: 50 + 100 = 150 ml.
  3. Calculate the alcohol degree: (20 / 150) × 100 = 13.33%.

The resulting mixture will have an alcohol degree of 13.33%.
