The strongest mixed drink, often cited, is the Aunt Roberta. It is known for its high alcohol content, consisting primarily of various liquors without significant mixers. Recipes vary, but commonly include gin, vodka, absinthe, brandy, and blackberry liqueur. Some versions also incorporate Bacardi 151 rum.
Here's why it's considered so strong:
High proportion of liquor:
The Aunt Roberta prioritizes liquor over mixers, resulting in a concentrated alcoholic content.
Multiple strong spirits:
The combination of gin, vodka, absinthe, and brandy, plus a liqueur, significantly increases the overall alcohol volume.
Absinthe:
Absinthe is a high-proof spirit, further contributing to the drink's potency.
While some recipes may adjust the amounts or include other ingredients, the core principle remains the same: a potent mix of liquors creating a very strong cocktail.
It is important to note that drinks like the Long Island Iced Tea and the Zombie, while potent due to multiple liquors, are generally considered to have a lower overall alcohol percentage than the Aunt Roberta.
