Final ABV

Punch and Sangria ABV Calculator
Use this before a party to see how strong a pitcher or bowl will be. Enter each ingredient's volume and ABV, including juices and sodas at 0%, plus the ice melt you expect in the bowl. The result is final ABV, US standard drinks in one serving, and US standard drinks in the whole batch.
This is batch planning. It does not estimate impairment, and it is not a recommendation for how much to serve.
Batch ingredients
Category assumptions, not brand labels: table wine 12.5% ABV and brandy 40% ABV. Juice and soda add volume only.

Ethanol by ingredient
- Red table wine: 750 mL at 12.5% ABV (93.8 mL ethanol)
- Brandy: 90 mL at 40.0% ABV (36.0 mL ethanol)
- Orange juice: 180 mL at 0.0% ABV (0.0 mL ethanol)
- Lemon soda or club soda: 180 mL at 0.0% ABV (0.0 mL ethanol)
- Ice melt: 200 mL at 0.0% ABV (0.0 mL ethanol)
Formula and assumptions
- Ethanol from each row is
volume × ABV ÷ 100. The same weighted sum is used by the cocktail ABV calculator. - Mixers at 0% ABV add volume and no ethanol. Empty rows are ignored.
- Ice melt is added as a 0% ingredient. It is an assumption you set, not a measured melt rate.
- Final ABV =
total ethanol mL ÷ final volume mL × 100. - A US standard drink is 14 grams of ethanol, using 0.789 g/mL as the ethanol density. Per-serving drinks use the serving size at the final ABV. See thestandard drink calculator.
- Preset ABVs are category placeholders. Bottle labels override them. For a single cocktail scaled by the serving, use thebatch cocktail calculator.

FAQ
Does ice change the ABV?
Only ice that melts into the batch. Enter that melt as extra volume at 0% ABV. Ice that stays solid in a glass is not part of this batch volume.
Why list non-alcoholic mixers?
Juice, soda, and fruit add volume and no ethanol, so they lower the ABV and the standard drinks in each serving. Leaving them out makes the bowl look stronger than it is.
Are the preset ABVs brand values?
No. The sangria preset uses 12.5% for table wine and 40% for brandy because those are common category strengths. Replace them with the ABV printed on the bottles you pour.
What is the standard-drink number for?
It converts the ethanol in one serving, and in the whole batch, into the US 14 gram standard drink used on the standard-drink calculator. It is a portion comparison, not a serving limit or a health claim.
