🥃 What Is an Alcohol Dilution Calculator?

An alcohol dilution calculator is a simple yet powerful tool that helps you determine how to adjust the strength (ABV – alcohol by volume) of a spirit or mixture. Whether you want to dilute strong alcohol with water to reach a lower ABV, or mix a specific batch for cocktails or tinctures, this calculator gives you instant results based on precise formulas.

⚙️ How It Works

There are two main ways you can use this calculator:

1. Dilution Mode – How much water to add:
   Enter the current ABV of your spirit (e.g., 40%), the target ABV you want (e.g., 20%), and your current spirit volume. The calculator instantly tells you how much water you need to add to reach that target strength.

2. Mixing Mode – How much spirit to use:
   If you have a target batch size (say, 1 liter at 25% ABV) and know your starting alcohol strength, the calculator tells you exactly how much spirit and water to mix.

Behind the scenes, it uses the formula:

C₁ × V₁ = C₂ × V₂

Where:

• C₁ = Starting alcohol concentration

• V₁ = Starting alcohol volume

• C₂ = Target alcohol concentration

• V₂ = Final total volume after dilution

🧾 Example Calculation

Let’s say you have 500 mL of 40% vodka and want to dilute it to 20% ABV.

Formula:
Final Volume = (Starting ABV × Starting Volume) ÷ Target ABV
= (0.40 × 500) ÷ 0.20 = 1000 mL

So, you need add 500 mL of water to reach 20% ABV.

🌍 Why Use an Alcohol Dilution Calculator?

• ✅ Accuracy: Avoid guesswork and wasted ingredients.

• 🍸 Consistency: Maintain uniform alcohol strength for cocktails or product batches.

• 🧫 Lab or medical applications: Ideal for scientific dilutions or extractions.

• 💧 Safety: Prevent overly strong drinks or inaccurate labeling.digital-sat-score-calculator
