An excellently strong drink is one that contains more than 40% alcohol. Simply put, stronger than vodka. The spectrum of such drinks is quite diverse - from mild hallucinogenic to quite murderous.
Drink and die
Polish vodka Spirytus with 96% alcohol content and a strength of 192 degrees is stunning in every sense. This killer drink is produced on an industrial scale, bottled in the most inconspicuous kind of bottle. The appearance is more than deceiving, not every healthy person is able to endure such turns. Swallowing in one gulp is fraught with loss of vision. Consuming even small amounts is hazardous to health.
A devilish drink with a devilish real - the American Everclear is banned from consumption in 13 states, which forced manufacturers to lower the strength of the drink in these states somewhat. The uniqueness of the 190-degree drink is that it has neither taste nor smell. This fact also allows Everclear to be mixed into killer cocktails.
Devil Springs Vodka, produced in New Jersey, sends a traditional attitude towards vodka to the devil. Manufacturers suggest diluting this drink with plain water in a 1: 1 ratio to get standard strength vodka, but it is not recommended to do so in order to try really strong - 160 degrees - alcohol.
The strongest rum is produced in Puerto Rico. Bacardi 151 bottles are the only bottles in the world with fireproof caps. Used to make strong rum cocktails or to light shots served on bar counters.
Strong extracts
Bohemian absinthe has a strength range of 50 to 70% alcohol. It owes its inviting green depth to herbal extracts from fennel, mint and, mainly, bitter wormwood. The thujone contained in it provides the well-known effect. Absinthe can be called the strongest drink among the most popular.
Juniper vodka, or, more simply, gin, is rarely consumed on its own, becoming a killer cocktail ingredient. Hardly anyone can drink 55% gin undiluted. The drink is a mixture of grain alcohol with aromatic alcohols (or juniper berries) and purified water.
Italian grappa varies in alcohol content from 40 to 60%, providing everyone with a heavy hangover. The most important ingredient is grape cake, which is removed from the wine-making process. Connoisseurs find similarities in the alcoholic characteristics of grappa and whiskey.
Strong weak alcohol
A primordially low-alcohol beer drink can also be dizzy, as the Scottish brewery Brewmeister has proven. In 2012, it launched 65% Armageddon based on caramel malt. This drink has a very bright aromatic bouquet. Released by the same company in 2013, "Snake Poison" is the strongest beer in the world - 67.5% alcohol.
