Which Margarita Has More Booze? (sh.itjust.works)

Okay so first off sorry if this doesn’t belong here, secondly I’m going to cross post this to get multiple opinions, which leads to 3 - not I’m not a bot/Russian/spammer/whatever - just someone who needs every question answered fully and most likely mathing.

So the question is, given the same total volume, which drink has more alcohol - a “frozen” margarita or a margarita on the rocks (where the rocks/ice are 1 inch cubed)?

I know the ambiguity here may come in with the ice volume of frozen, but that’s part of what I need y’all reason out/rationalize.

If we're talking about a bar/restaurant, then the amount of alcohol in a drink is regulated and consistent.

That said, if the total volume of ice and water is consistent, then 10ml of the liquid portion of a drink on the rocks will have more alcohol than 10ml of the liquid/ice mixture in a blended margarita, at least until the ice cubes melt.

Far more importantly, a margarita on the rocks is a superior drink. :-)
