According to liquor experts, classic spirit-forward cocktails like the Negroni or Martini can contain an alcohol by volume (ABV) ranging from 25% to 37%. Understanding how strong is a cocktail is crucial for responsible enjoyment and involves more than just the type of liquor used.

While a standard 5-ounce glass of wine and a 1.5-ounce shot of spirits contain roughly the same amount of pure alcohol, the question remains: is a margarita stronger than wine? The answer is complex and depends heavily on how the margarita is prepared and served, often making it feel like the more potent option.
