how to cost a cocktail
Yet, if my pour cost is only 1%, the same cocktail should cost my customers $219. I donât work in a bar, but I find this calculator interesting. If my gross margin is 99% on a drink, it seems I should be charging less for the drink to maximize revenue at a certain price point.t the core, all you need to do is figure out how much the drink costs to make, and multiply by your targeted pour cost (if youâre unsure what this is, ask your boss or bookkeeper; the industry standard usually lies somewhere between 18% and 24%). Itâs that easy, but it can get a little tricky sometimes.
