The Mix Lab
Build your drink row by row: the lab knows every bottle's alcohol and sugar and computes live what ends up in the glass after meltwater.

Remy's verdict
- • Under 8% with spirit involved: the flavor is drowning — less filler or more base.
Model: shaking ≈ +25% meltwater, stirring ≈ +20%, building ≈ +12%. Final ABV = pure alcohol ÷ total volume.
