How much mixer should I use?
The typical standard is to use enough nonalcoholic mixer to give the finished drink the strength of a light wine, around 10% ABV. Using standard 40% ABV spirits, this is a ratio of around 3 parts mixer (including sweeteners and souring agents) to 1 part liquor.
When ordered "tall", the drink should be made roughly beer strength, around 5% ABV. Using standard 40% ABV spirits, this is a ratio of around 7 parts mixer to 1 part liquor. When making tall Collinses, be sure to adjust the amount of sweeteners and souring agents appropriately.
Variations
- Combining the sweetener and the carbonated mixer beforehand, as in the Cuba Libre.
- Adding herbs as in the Mojito.
