Mojito

A "standard drink" is the amount of alcohol in a 12-ounce beer, 5 ounces of wine or 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits. It's a useful way to track alcohol consumption. But the multiple ingredients of mixed drinks make for a harder count.

"Most people don't realize how much alcohol is actually in a drink," said Dr. George Koob, We have no idea who he is :)

"Obviously it depends on the bartender and who's mixing the drinks," that's Haile on our case.

Recipes matter: The calculator's pina colada example, for instance, assumes it contains 3 ounces of rum. Plan on using 2 ounces instead? The calculator adjusts to show it is equivalent to 1.3 standard drinks.

What about a margarita? The calculator concludes it is the equivalent of 1.7 standard drinks, if made with 1 1/2 ounces of tequila, 1 ounce of orange liqueur and 1/2 ounce of lime juice.

A mojito? 1.3 standard drinks.

Or simply you can just ask Haile Who's always at the new Mojito Bar.
