10. Elixir végétal de la Grande-Chartreuse - 69% alcohol

0ywswnn4This herbal liqueur with a history of almost three centuries is still produced according to the secret recipe of Marshal Estre. It contains the "essences" of more than 130 plants, whose aromatic and healing properties make the liqueur not only one of the strongest in the world, but also very useful, in reasonable quantities. Reviews say that it is enough to drop a few drops of liqueur on a piece of sugar or dilute a small amount in water, and fatigue or mild malaise will disappear as if by magic.

The herbs are stored in the monastery of La Grande Chartreuse and then processed in the distillery in Voiron by monks. The resulting liqueur is left to mature in oak barrels in the largest liqueur cellar in the world. The monks decide when the drink is ready and then pour it into bottles, which are in turn enclosed in elegant wooden packaging. Vegetal de la Grande Chartreuse is distributed to more than 100 countries.

9. Bacardi 151 - 75.5%

8. Devil Springs Vodka - 80%

7. Pincer Shanghai Strength - 88.8%

One of the world's strongest spirits has been released in limited quantities and is intended primarily for the Chinese market.

By the way, Scotland is the birthplace of the strongest beer in the world. It has the telling name "Snake Venom" and contains 67.5% of alcohol. It even has a sticker warning that this beer should be drunk in small portions, due to its very high strength. The ingredients for creating "Snake Venom" were smoky malt smoked on peat and two types of yeast. Perhaps this beer will someday be included in the rating of the best beer according to Roskachestvo, if the experts dare to try such a strong swill.

6. Poitin 1661 - 90%

5. Mariënburg rum - 90%

4. Bruichladdich X4 Quadrupled Whiskey – 92%

3. Everclear Grain - 95%

dgez1jeyThe top 3 strongest drinks in the world are opened by vodka, which was banned for a long time in the USA and Canada. Thanks to its neutral taste, it is ideal for making alcoholic mixtures. In 1979, it was included in the Guinness Book of Records as the strongest alcoholic drink.

If you're brave enough to try it in its purest form, make sure you have your local emergency number on speed dial.

2. Cocoroco - 96%

rir40iznThe alcoholic beverage, which originated in Bolivia, is usually sold in tins with a picture of a crocodile. It is made from sugar cane and coconut and is illegal in some of Bolivia's neighboring countries, such as Chile (where all alcoholic beverages with an alcohol content of more than 55% by volume are illegal).

Rarely can a stomach stand Cocoroco undiluted. Usually this hellish swill is drunk diluted with cool tea or added to various cocktails.

1. Wratislavia Spirytus - 96%

wvr01gofThe strongest vodka in the world, made in Poland, is nothing more than liquid fire. It has no smell and, to the untrained eye, looks just like water. But take just one sip of this drink, even in a diluted form, and it becomes clear that this is not water at all, but the most stunning experience for your taste buds.

Its name, "Bratislava Spiritus", does not refer to Poland at all. But here all questions are directed to the manufacturer.

Thanks to strict quality standards and a multi-level purification system, Wratislavia Spirytus is an ideal base for premium alcoholic mixtures and even desserts.

It is not recommended to drink the strongest alcohol in the world in its pure form. They say it can damage your insides for the rest of your life. We will not check, and we do not advise you to either.
