Where it sits

Stronger than 222 of the 345 other drinks in the catalogue, and weaker than 122.

That is 68 mg in a 1–2 oz shot (30–60 ml) serving — a concentration of 151.1 mg per 100 ml. The scale above ranks whole servings, and servings differ in size, so a larger drink can sit further right while being weaker cup for cup.
