How we rate a swap
- Almost the same.
- Most people won’t notice the difference in the glass.
- Works, tastes different.
- Still a good drink, just a different one.
- Last resort.
- Better than skipping the drink, but you’ll taste it.
Strength changes are worked out from each bottle’s ABV and the recipe’s amounts, after the ice melts. Sugar advice uses each bottle’s sugar content where we know it. We never swap an alcoholic bottle for an alcohol-free one: those drinks get their own rebalanced zero-proof recipes.
