ABV, Dilution & Standard Drinks Calculator
What it is
A fast calculator to quantify cocktail strength. Enter your recipe and ingredient strengths, pick the method and dilution, and get final ABV, proof, pure alcohol, and standard drinks per serve. Includes a clean A4 Spec Sheet and an optional Menu Log.
What it solves
Strength is not a feeling. Dilution, ice, and small spec edits can change ABV a lot. This toolkit makes strength measurable so menus stay balanced, batching stays reliable, and specs stay consistent.

Starter (Instant download)
You receive the ABV Calculator file. You input ingredients and pours for 1 cocktail, select unit system (ml or oz), method and ice. The file calculates ABV pre and post dilution, ethanol grams, standard drinks, strength band, plus QC warnings. Includes a print ready Spec Sheet and an optional Menu Log.
Standard (2 days delivery)
I configure the file for your venue and validate your inputs. I set your preferred standard drink system (US, AU, UK, or custom grams), unit system, strength bands, and I review your dilution assumptions (method and ice). I also clean and align your Ingredient Library ABV values so results are consistent.
Advanced (4 days delivery)
Full done for you service. You send up to 10 cocktail or mocktail recipes with pour amounts, method, and ice. I run the calculations, deliver a separate filled file per drink, a consolidated Menu Log summary, and print ready Spec Sheets you can export to PDF.
