Tag: 99 shots

The 99 Brand liqueurs are often mistaken for being 99% alcohol, which is inaccurate; the '99' represents the proof, equivalent to 49.5% alcohol by volume (ABV). This common misinterpretation can lead to people underestimating the drinks' potency. Understanding the difference between proof and ABV is vital for safe consumption and to avoid overestimation of how much alcohol is consumed.

Despite the confusion surrounding its name, the 99 Brand is primarily a line of flavored liqueurs and schnapps, not a vodka. These high-proof spirit-based drinks are famous for their intense, sweet flavors and come in a wide variety of options for shots and mixed drinks.
