Head to head
Division Bell and Twentieth Century side by side: what changes in the recipe, the balance, the strength and the calories.
The difference, by the numbers
They have no ingredient in common: the Division Bell has mezcal, Aperol, Maraschino liqueur and lime juice, the Twentieth Century gin, Lillet Blanc, crème de cacao and lemon juice. In parts, a Division Bell is 2 mezcal, 1½ Aperol, 1 Maraschino and 1½ lime; a Twentieth Century is 2 gin, 1 Lillet, 1 cacao and 1 lemon. By volume, the Division Bell is 33% spirit, 25% citrus, 25% fortified wine and bitter and 17% liqueur; the Twentieth Century is 40% spirit, 20% liqueur, 20% citrus and 20% fortified wine and bitter. Different bottles, similar balance: that makes them close cousins on the ratio map.
The Twentieth Century is the stronger drink in the glass (14.6% ABV against 13.8%) and holds more alcohol (1.51 standard drinks against 1.12). The Twentieth Century has more calories (about 193 against 150) and more sugar (10.5 g against 8.9 g). Both are shaken and served in a coupe.
