Cooking Cocktail Dilution Calculator
Actual cocktail mass gain corrected for independently removed liquid, assumes ice is only added source; not ABV or cooling estimate. Caller establishes matching ingredient basis and method. Not food-safety, doneness, preservation or allergy certification.
Description
Cocktail dilution can be inferred from a measured mass gain after correcting separately removed liquid.
Cocktail dilution can be inferred from a measured mass gain after correcting separately removed liquid.1
That conditional gain is not automatically equal to all meltwater under every preparation process. Use Cooking Cocktail Dilution Calculator to evaluate the supplied inputs under the specific model below.
When to use Cooking Cocktail Dilution Calculator
Use Cooking Cocktail Dilution Calculator to evaluate the supplied inputs under the specific model below. Establish the units, measurement scope and applicable model or recipe assumptions before entering values.
How to use Cooking Cocktail Dilution Calculator and understand its results
- Establish the units, measurement scope and applicable model or recipe assumptions before entering values.
- Enter Observed pre shake mass g, Observed post shake liquid mass g, Independently removed liquid mass g using the field table and validation rules below, then run the tool.
- Read Conditional added ice water g, Added water per initial percent and interpret units, signs, ordering and placeholders as explained below.
- If the tool reports an input error, correct that field and rerun. A successful false result, empty match list or unknown-evidence placeholder has the specific meaning described here; check the limitations before applying the result.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| observedPreShakeMassG | Observed pre shake mass g | number | Required; constraints below |
| observedPostShakeLiquidMassG | Observed post shake liquid mass g | number | Required; constraints below |
| independentlyRemovedLiquidMassG | Independently removed liquid mass g | number | Required; constraints below |
Enter positive pre-dilution mass, nonnegative post-dilution mass and nonnegative independently removed solids mass in g. Estimated water gain is post+removed−pre and must be nonnegative. Return gain in g and gain/pre×100. This is a supplied mass balance and does not determine dilution from shaking time or ice geometry.
waterGainG = postMassG+removedSolidsG−preMassG; dilutionPercent = 100×waterGainG/preMassG Field order, units and branch conditions follow the implementation explanation above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| conditionalAddedIceWaterG | Conditional added ice water g | number |
| addedWaterPerInitialPercent | Added water per initial percent | number |

}Limitations and assumptions
That conditional gain is not automatically equal to all meltwater under every preparation process. Apply the exact scope and assumptions described above.
All listed fields require explicit values. Unexpected fields, incorrect types, nonfinite numbers and sparse arrays fail validation. Domain-specific bounds, alignments and supported tokens are stated above; extremely large inputs or outputs can also be rejected. These errors differ from successful results such as false, no matches or unknown evidence.
