Alcohol content comparison icon

How does the alcohol content of an Orgasm cocktail compare to other cocktails?

With an alcohol content of 21%, the Orgasm cocktail has a moderately high alcohol content compared to other creamy or dessert cocktails, which often have a lower alcohol percentage due to the diluting effect of cream or non-alcoholic sweeteners.
