5CCocktails and mixed beverages

5C Cocktails and mixed beverages If a liquor product consists of 2 or more other liquor products, the number of standard drinks in the product is the sum of the number of standard drinks in each component liquor product. Examples for section 5C 1 A licensee offers a "bundle" consisting of 1 bottle of spirits and 12 cans of beer. The number of standard drinks in the bundle is the sum of the number for the spirits and each can of beer. 2 A margarita cocktail comprises 40 ml tequila, 20 ml orange liqueur, lime juice, salt and ice. Accordingly, the calculation of standard drinks is as follows: 0.040 L tequila at 35% alcohol x 0.789 = 1.1 standard drinks 0.020 L orange liqueur at 40% alcohol x 0.789 = 0.63 standard drinks lime juice, salt and ice – no alcohol content total standard drinks = 1.1 + 0.63 = 1.73 standard drinks.
