Dilution
Shake or stir, ice, and a target water percent. Water is an ingredient — this puts a number on it.
Open dilutionFrom the Liquid Degree app
Dilution, ABV, batching and service maths — client-side, in millilitres — plus the technique notes that go with them.
Shake or stir, ice, and a target water percent. Water is an ingredient — this puts a number on it.
Open dilutionThe drink in the glass, not the bottle. Mix, melt and juice all count.
Open ABVScale a spec for a keg, an event list, or Saturday night, with spare built in.
Open batchingHow many 30 ml, 45 ml or 60 ml pours you actually get from the bottles on the well.
Jump to yieldA 700 ml bottle at a 30 ml pour is not “about 24 drinks” if you are counting stock. It is 23 full pours and 10 ml left over. Do the yield before you write the order.
Shake, stir, ice, measure and strain — written the way you would say it on a station.
Measure
Free pour after you can hit the spec. Until then, the jigger is how the drink stays the same at 9pm as it was at 5.
Shake
If it is all spirits, stir it. If it has citrus, dairy or egg, shake it. Texture, water and temperature do the rest.
Strain
Hawthorne, julep or fine mesh — pick the strainer for the ice you used and the texture you want in the glass.
Ice
Ice is not only for cold. The water it leaves behind is part of the spec. Treat it like one.
