Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices.

This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
