- NEW COCKTAIL CALCULATOR: www.cocktailchemistrylab.com/...
It's surprisingly easy to build a balanced cocktail if you understand the ethanol, acid, and sugar content of the drink. To make it even easier for you, I've built a Cocktail Calculator you can use to create your own balanced cocktail recipes.

Thanks to the amazing work of one of my subscribers we now have a massively upgraded version of this! Check it out a sneak preview here, video coming soon www.cocktailchemistrylab.com/calculator
I'm wondering if you're willing to share a copy of that Excel template you built?
I'm working on a similar template for batch processes but love what you built and wondering if you're willing to share!
doesn't really work! no matter how much lemon juice I add, acidity is too low. I doubt that xD
I would love a copy as well. From the video, I thought the spreadsheet was available for downloading but I see I’m late to the party and while it may have once been, it seems the online version is the only one available.
all hail the cocktail torso
I'm not even old enough to drink, but your videos are so entertaining that I've subbed and watched nearly all of them in the past few hours. Hopefully I'll be able to put everything that I'll have learned to good use one day!
"Not old enough to drink"...at a public establishment. Do what you like dude, but drink responsibly.
Hey the kid could be ten years old, so be careful if you recommend drinking alcohol.
David Hillman You are right, and I do drink occasionally. However, I'm still too young to buy alcohol, which certainly makes it a lot more difficult.
david moeller if you drink too much, just snort some bath salts to balance it out. You'll be right as rain in no time.
Going to be making a video on virgin cocktails soon!
Hi team! Head over to the new COMMUNITY TAB on my channel to check out this calculator: th-cam.com/channels/-o0CfpOyFJOfyWKtqS1hZQ.htmlcommunity
I'll be using the community tab to give sneak previews of new videos, do polls for upcoming video ideas, and share other useful info.

Cocktail Chemistry You should consider making this an app!
If you don't know anyone who would, I would gladly help, at least for Android!
Agreed. This as an app with continuous updates is something I'd pay for (if reasonably priced).
Doesnt' open up :(
Give it another try? I changed the link
Excellent work. Great job building an interactive site as well. It's one thing to make videos about cocktails; it's another to actually engage and collaborate with your audience. Bravo!
This is fantastic work! A tool that's actually useful for inventing our own drinks is *exactly* the kind of content I would want from your channel. And it's living up to the "Chemistry" part of your channel name more than ever. Well done and thank you!
very helpful this calculator, not everyone has a full bar in their homes and using this calculator to input what you have to create a ratio of perfect drink is more than helpful to drown my sorrows with great tasting drinks
This is so freaking cool, well done!!! I'll be putting all my usual recipes in, see what might need tweaking (and learn more about my own personal preferences)
And remember: NEVER use that kind of acid that is measured in microgramms.
Eliphas Leary unless your from the Middle East
Hmm... LSD in a cocktail. Could be very interesting
Actually LSD isn't really acid in chemistry terms.
Scooopiii nah doesn't make sense. would be pretty hard to dose. and if you just put it in there for yourself and plan to drink the whole thing some of the acid could end up sticking on the side of your glass or the bottom. also it would take longer to kick in since you swallow it. also you wouldn't taste it. basically there's no sense in putting lsd in a drink (except you want to stealthily drug someone else with acid which wouldn't be a very nice thing to do)
Nope. It's ACIDIC. But it's no ACID actually it's,, like you already said, amide.
It's not ph to make sth acid or hydrooxide. For organic acid its -COOH group, And LSD lacks it as -OH in -COOH is changed to N(CH2-CH3)2 (and of course LSD can't be non-organic acid). Closest acid it "just" lysergic acid. which formula is C16H16N2O2 nod C2025N3O,
Of course due to Bronsted, Arrhenius or Lewis every acidic coumpound is acid, but not in common language.
You deserve a medal for this
Christ, this is wonderful. Thank you so much for this. This looks like it's a really great, comprehensive tool-- and it's not even at final version yet! People become great by doing great things, and this is a really great thing. You and your team that are working on this are great. Great.
That is so neat! As a chemistry student and a lover of cocktails I love this!
This is going to step up my game in my apprenticeship by a hundred fold. Thank you sir
This is amazing! I can't wait to give it a try this weekend :) Thank you!
Favorite TH-camr. Please when you grow super big, don't change...I love how you do things
Another phenomenal video. Gotta say you and babish are the greatest how to guys out here, because what more do we really need besides good food and great drinks?
Awesome idea. Can't wait to try it out.
Wow . Congrats for all your knowledge. Your're Awesome teacher.
Very interesting, thanks for giving us a tool. This is really neat. Thanks for putting in the hard work making all this for us.
Wow! Nice idea! Thanks for sharing ... I will def try it out!
Chemistry and cocktails are my two favourite things! Thanks for the amazing video!
this is absolutely amazing, can't wait to try it out
this is crazy cool! can't wait to try it out
Love this knowledge - I call it delicious Edu-tainment. Cheers!
That is a very well put together spreadsheet, I am very impressed
I'm gonna experiment. thanks for making the spreadsheet!
Really interesting video. Thanks for putting together the calculator; seems like it'll be a useful tool
Cocktails and spreadsheets combined. You just earned all the respect.
Pretty cool!
I experimented yesterday with vodka and dry vermouth.
I took a thin slice of cucumber, mangled it slightly, poured about two shot glasses of vodka and Martini Extra Dry Vermouth onto it, then I added two dashes of lemon juice and stired it over some ice, Idk how long exactly and finally poured it into a chilled glass.
Turned out to be a very nice drink, imho.
I har not heard about your cocktail calculator before! Awesome gadget!
Your love for Take Five really amazes me. A man with good taste in music as well as in liquor is a man to be. Nick I do apologize that I haven't been watching your videos lately, time to get my mojo back.
Also, you still haven't started making cocktails based on countries, trust me you will win a lotta hearts, no kidding.
WOW! This is AWESOME! Thanks!
I salute you sir. This must have taken a lot of time and I must thank you for it. Is it possible to add on another tab which stores the recipes you create
I noticed you have the reverse dry shake as your egg white method. I keep going back and forth but have landed back at the regular dry shake instead of the reverse. as long as you have the right type of ice density and size it provides a better ring of thick foam in my experience.
cool video! just a quick note from a chemist though, if it's a proper (calibrated) measuring cylinder, you shouldn't shake the drops out, the measuring cylinder is calibrated for those staying inside ^^
Very cool concept, thank you for making it accessible to everyone! I especially like the pairings/notes section, that will definitely help inspire some new and interesting drinks!
Do you happen to know of any easy way to figure out the acid content of wine in percentage? So far I've only found results in pH, with no obvious way to convert to percent. It'll vary quite a bit by the type of wine, of course, but even an estimate would be a great start!
What a great tool! I also like your idea of creating a more interactive community. It would be cool to see some subscriber cocktail recipes in a video.
this is cool af, will definitely be using it! cheers
Love the calculator - I can see myself spending a lot of time with it! Is there an end goal to put all your "recommended pairings" ingredients into the liquor list? For example, you say cognac goes well with bourbon and rye, but I don't know what impact cognac would have on my cocktail.
I've been binge watching your videos lately and as someone who is physically unable to drink any alcohol (doctors told me either my liver will stop functioning completely or my body shuts down or something? One of those I'm not quite ready to chug a brandy to find that out) your videos make me want to make these drinks for my friends. I'd probably get stuck doing it anyways because some of them get drunk REALLY quickly. Plus, I'd be the only sober one left and SOMEONE has to make all these cool drinks.
love Dave Arnold's book. love this channel.
This is so nerdy! I love it!
Cocktail Chemistry
Wauw! Awesome job! Thank you!
I don't drink alcohol but find these videoes very interesting anyway! Could you make a video about how you turn an alcoholic drink into a non-alcoholic drink, like how do you figure out what to replace the alcohol with, to still have that nice balance of the original drink?
Thanks for the video, it really helped in crafting cocktails. Can you make a video on making a True Blue, Vodka, Blue Curaco, Orange Liquor and Lemon juice with a lemon peel twist garnish
This is fantastic! THANK YOU!
Use IBU to mesure your bitterness, it's a great way to do so, and the only scale for that i ever saw!
I love this idea:-) and I will definitely try it out to make cocktails. So cool:-)
Living for the graduated cylinders and graphs! Chemistry is my Absolut favorite.
I've learned more from this video than my chemistry class in 1 year.
This is a fantastic tool!!!!! Thanks for sharing. Is there a feature where if you build a cocktail that matches the description of an existing one it lets you know?
Nice work !
Woah! This is AWESOME! I've wanted something like this for years. I too would pay good yankee dollars for something continually updated, or an app for my Android or some such. Excellent!
you must have worked damn hard on the spreadsheet, well done
Dude this is amazing - thankyou
This channel is awesome. Do you have a PO box or anything where fans can send you items?
Excellent! now i can put on my mad scientist hat, fire up the calculator and throw open the liquor cabinet!
Mad Scientist laugh ----> Mwuhahahahaha!
Almost stopped watching when I saw the original Daiquiri spec! Great video!
Lets make a app!!!
This makes me think you should do a video exploring fan designed cocktails submitted to you via TH-cam comments or Twitter or whatever your preferred method is.
Try the drinks out on cam, tell us what you liked, disliked, or what you might change.
Include drinks you think could be good, or ones so weird you have to show them, even if they might be bad.
It would be fun.
Wow, coctails allowed me to become an alcoholic with class... and now with class and calculations! I can feel so smart! :D
Sweet concept man
wow! just amazing!!!
This is so great!
Well this is a treat! I'm collecting a copy of this post haste.
As a jump on the poll, I can handle Take 5, but would perhaps suggest a theme per 'season' and/or series or some such, because it would be a nice touch of variety, but I'd rather you spend time making magical spread-sheets and more magical drinks, over finding music to use.
I do wonder if there might not be a way to at least add some guestimates if not actual figures for the sweetness of some of the ethanol-bearing ingredients? It seems like that's such a huge factor, and while of course we can account for it in art, it might be nice to have this tool warn us when our booze selection alone approaches candyland.
Thanks for these fun and informative videos!
Thanks! Which ethanol bearing ingredients are you referring to? Like, the perceived sweetness in rum vs vodka?
Really cool video!
OMG this is freaking awesome!!!!
Probably have heard this before... But you should make an app with this!!! Perhaps when you have a closer calculator to what you want!! I would pay for an app like this one no doubt
Hi.
Should the notes / pairings for bourbon and rye be switched? It looks strange that a note in bourdon is rye and a note in rye is bourbon.
Thanks for investing the time in this and sharing your knowledge .
This is amazing.
omg this is amazing!!!!
This is amazing!
Thank you so much for this video Nick!! Literally makes my life easier. I would love to just buy you a new shirt to wear for your videos 👔 hahaha 😂
Amazing!
HiHere in Brazil we have hot days and the ambient temperature of the spirits will influence the dilution. I wonder if the ambient temperature will be included in the calculation in the new versions. Thank you.
Awesome video as usual. The calculator works great, good job!.
Question though, where would I source the %acid of a fruit juice? I can easily find pH but not sure how would that be translated into %.
You need to do a titration test
Unsurprisingly, the calculator didn't think much of the IBA recipe for a Negroni, although I was surprised to find it thought it would be too sweet given how powerfully bitter they are.
Does anyone have the link to the original spreadsheet shown in the video?
hello, love your videos will you be doing any more live streams soon, i'm sure many people would love it
thinking of doing some live cocktail classes actually
You are the master of the alcoholic universe....cheers
This is amazing...
hi is it still possible to get a copy of the excel version of the calculator? I like the idea of an offline version on a tablet.
hey i love your videos and i know its not a cocktail, but do you think you could make either honeybrew mead or blackbriar reserve from skyrim?
Is the spreadsheet still available to download?
How do you make the best Caesar?
What is the song in the background I know it so well
you are a genius
a cocktail chemistry app would be golden 😎
Designed my first cocktail on the calculator:
-57 cc of Bourbon (100 proof), 10 cc of honey syrup, and 5 cc of tonic water (fever tree). (Build in glass).
All I have to do now is buy the ingredients and make it.
Can you make an Orange Whip from The Blues Brothers.
Actually original Orange Whip was non alcoholic.
notophilip there’s another channel called How to Drink and he makes it there
I'm assuming you're using an arbitrary unit for acidity because the pH scale doesn't work for taste? (maybe because it's logarithmic)
also in the references it says "Ethnanol"
I might actually use this
is there a way the community could add to it. id want to add heavy whipping cream and other such things but dont know if thats possible
How did you make cocktail calculator on excel? Maybe you can share it to us so we can add another ingredient as data or make our own formula recipe
Can you add 138 proof rum? (Plantation O.F.T.D.) Thanks.
Could you make an Aqua Velva, preferably the one from the movie Zodiac?
This is amazing!
Is it possible to link the original spreadsheet? I'd like to be able to go in and edit the reference data to add liqueurs and spirits. Thanks
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18wqxyz7yXYPVxd0NpUT1f9HxqNPvE96WJBqPJ03WC2Q/edit?usp=sharing
Can you do lemonchello ?
does it include absinthe?
Is there a way to add in custom ingredients that aren't on the list?
Once you make a copy of the spreadsheet, it becomes yours to edit freely. Just add a new row in the reference data tab with your ingredients. But ideally you share them with me so I can update the master and we all can benefit :)
