Calculate blend ratios to achieve target ABV from liquids of different alcohol concentrations. Wine, spirits, and cocktail blending math.
Memorize foundation ratios. Daiquiri = 2 oz spirit, 1 oz lime, 1 oz simple. Scale all components equally.
Daiquiri/Margarita: 2:1:1 (spirit:sweet:sour) | Old Fashioned: 2:1:2 (spirit:sugar:bitters dash)Linear scaling works for all ingredients. 20 Negronis (1:1:1): 20 oz gin, 20 oz Campari, 20 oz vermouth.
Ingredient = Single serve amount × Number of servingsPre-batch cocktails for service add 20–25% water to simulate shake/stir dilution. Pre-diluted batches serve still or over ice.
Batch dilution ≈ 20–25% water from stirring/shakingUpdated: July 2026
1:1:1 ratio at 3 oz each: 30 oz gin, 30 oz Campari, 30 oz sweet vermouth. Add 18 oz water for pre-dilution.
2 oz bourbon, 0.25 oz simple syrup, 2 dashes Angostura bitters, orange peel. Scale ratio for whiskey preference.
Classic 2:1 gin to vermouth (dry) or 5:1 (very dry). Calculate vermouth from gin volume using ratio.
Classic cocktails follow consistent spirit-modifier-mixer ratios that scale linearly. Enter base recipe proportions and desired serving count or total volume to calculate precise ingredient amounts for single serves or batch preparation.
