Another daft question..whisky macs
 

Got a few friends coming over Saturday.Xmas Drinks at ours then out for a meal.

Will be offering up mulled wine and whisky macs (or whatever anyone wants!)

Here's the thicko question..I understand a whisky mac is whisky (40%?) plus ginger wine (13.5%) does that make the drink 53.5% strong?!:wonder:

I think you would in fact reduce the alcohol % content overall to 26% or so depending on the volume used.

I think:wonder:

My grans fav tippl :D - killed her in the end ,


er No ..! work out the percentages

Say it was a one part whisky to four parts ginger wine....

In the whisky unit its 40% alcohol by volume so 0.4 is alcohol, 0.6 is everything else (water)
In the ginger wine its 0.135 alcohol.

So the total alcohol is (1*0.4) + (4*0.135) = 0.94.

As a percentage of the five units 0.94 / 5 = 18.8% alcohol by volume :D

Enjoy a few Whisky Macs myself. Use the cheap whisky though, not single malt ;)

Ratio of 1:1 in my house. ;)

My dad used to like those.

You would drink the appropriate volume of alcohol for the two drinks mixed together.
