How does the alcohol content in Love on the Rocks compare to a standard cocktail?
With an alcohol content of 20%, Love on the Rocks is slightly lower in alcohol than many classic cocktails, which typically range from 25% to 40% alcohol by volume. This makes it a lighter option, ideal for those who prefer a milder cocktail.
Is there a non-alcoholic version of Love on the Rocks that I can make?
