Four Horsemen
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse consists of equal parts scotch, Irish whiskey, bourbon whiskey, and Tennessee whiskey, mixed with ice and served neat.
Since the Four Horsemen is made up of equal parts whiskey and typically comes in a 2-ounce drink, it's actually not that strong unless you drink a few of them.
Long Island Iced Tea
This cocktail is about three-quarters gin, rum, vodka, tequila, and triple sec. The alcohol is mixed with simple syrup, lemon juice, ice, and a dash of cola.
Martini
A dry martini only consists of gin or vodka and dry vermouth, which all have a high ABV — Vodka's is in the 40% range, gin gets up to 57%, and vermouth’s is around 16-18%.
As a dry martini calls for 2 1/2 ounces vodka (or gin) to 1/2 ounce dry vermouth, there's more of the higher ABV spirit. Dry martinis usually have an ABV between 28% and 30%.
Negroni
The Negroni has an alcohol content level of around 24%, as it's 100% liquor: equal parts of Campari, gin, and sweet vermouth served chilled with an orange peel.
The Zombie
The Zombie uses both Jamaican and Puerto Rican rum, which can have ABVs up to 75%. It also features falernum, grenadine, Don's mix,
lime juice, bitters and a mint sprig.
