Alcohol Density Chart
If you want to layer different alcohol types, you have to remember to have the heaviest spirit at the bottom and then work your way up. If you don’t remember this, all the layers will mix in the glass, destroying the effect. Below you will find an alcohol density chart of some of the most common known spirit’s density. The bigger the difference is between two types of alcohol, the easier it will be for you to layer them.
A rule of thumb is, that the lower the percentage of alcohol, the more sugar is still in the fluid = heavier liquid
