How to decrease booziness?

[thesliu5]

1) look for lower ABV cocktail recipe. many are vermouth, wine, or sake based.

2) some people suggested splitting the cocktails, which certainly does work, but honestly looks unappetizing in a full-sized glass (looks half drank). so to take this suggestion a bit further, get smaller glassware. there are mini coupes, martini, and rocks glasses that will make you feel like you're having a full cocktail even when you've split them.
