What to work out next
All calculators →About this calculator
Add every spirit in the drink, each with its own bottle cost, bottle size and pour. The calculator works out the pour cost for each spirit separately, then adds mixers, garnish and other extras.
Formula per spirit = (Bottle cost ÷ Bottle size in ml) × Pour size in ml. Most UK bars target 75–82% margin on cocktails.
