Estimated strength

What does this mean?
Per serving: ≈ 0% ABV · ≈ 0 g alcohol
An estimate, not a measurement. Dilution lowers concentration but does not remove alcohol. Check your bottle label. These typical alcohol levels can vary by brand and market.
Added water from ice: 10%. Water added as a percentage of the measured liquid before mixing. Ice melt varies with temperature, time and technique.
Assumes the mixers labelled alcohol-free are 0.0%. Check labels when traces matter.

Water for the batch
No pre-added water. Chill the ingredients, build over fresh ice and add the cold sparkling mixer last, except where the original recipe specifies a different order.
Prepare and serve
- Prepare fresh juice close to serving and keep it chilled separately unless it is explicitly in the base. Fresh batches are for this service, not an overnight storage promise.
- Keep fizzy drinks cold and closed until pouring. Add them per glass; never shake or blend them.
The list saves ingredient names, not party quantities. Check the totals above against how much you have. Garnishes and ice are not added.
