What's The Strongest Cocktail In The World?

The cocktail that's often called the strongest in the world is called the Aunt Roberta. It combines at least four different kinds of strong liquor and rounds it out with liqueur.

Most recipes call for two shots of absinthe, three shots of vodka, 1.5 shots of gin, and one shot each of brandy and blackberry liqueur. Some also include Bacardi 151 rum.

The average absinthe is 136 proof Brandy is somewhere between 80 to 100 proof, and vodka and gin range from 80 to 100+ proof. Chambord is the lowest at 33 proof.

Add the 151, which is 151 proof, and it’s truly the strongest cocktail in the world. It outdoes even the Long Island iced tea, as it contains sweet-and-sour mix and cola.

The anise or black licorice of the absinthe predominates the drink, but the blackberry, the warm fruit from the brandy, and the botanicals from the gin also come into play.
