FAQ's
We've collated some quick fire Q&A's on the question to help you find exactly what you're looking for.

How do I know if a cocktail is strong?
A strong cocktail typically contains a higher proportion of spirits relative to mixers and generally has an alcohol by volume (ABV) content above 15%.

What is the best way to drink a strong cocktail?
Strong cocktails are best enjoyed slowly, to savor the complex flavors and to avoid over-consumption.

Can I make a strong cocktail with less common spirits?
Yes, you can experiment with various spirits, but the chosen spirits should have a high alcohol content to maintain the strength of the cocktail.

Are strong cocktails always served without mixers?
Not necessarily. Some strong cocktails still include mixers to balance the flavors, but the spirit content remains high.

Are there any non-alcoholic options that mimic strong cocktails?
Non-alcoholic spirits and mixers can be combined to create mocktails with a robust flavor profile, though they won't have the alcohol content of a true strong cocktail.
