SwitchExplanation
Convert US cups of cold water to grams using a density reference of 1 g/mL. With the US cup fixed at 236.588 mL, that gives 236.59 grams per cup for this ingredient.
That is useful for mixer prep, dilution planning, and packaged-drink workflows where cold water volume and weight need to stay comparable. Cold Water can still vary a little with sugar level or carbonation, so the converter keeps one reference value for consistency.

Cold Water density evidence
Cold water is a neutral, non-carbonated mixer used to dilute, chill, and balance beverages without adding flavor.
Practical use: Cold water is used to dilute and chill drinks, adjust balance, and control alcohol intensity. It is essential in stirring and building techniques, for preparing ice and syrups, and for lengthening beverages where neutrality is required.
Composition and sensory context: Cold water is flavor-neutral, delivering a clean, crisp mouthfeel that enhances refreshment without contributing sweetness, bitterness, or aroma. Its primary sensory role is temperature control and controlled dilution, which can soften alcohol heat and integrate flavors.
Cold Water uses 1 g/mL in this dataset, which is close to the 1 g/mL water reference. Evidence status: medium-confidence. Source basis: Typical density of pure water at room temperature.
Among the 2 reviewed records labeled Non-Carbonated Mixers, the nearest density to Cold Water is Water at 1 g/mL: an absolute difference of 0 g/mL (0.0% relative to Cold Water). The observed range in this labeled group is Cold Water at 1 g/mL to Water at 1 g/mL. This is a numerical comparison, not a claim that the liquids are interchangeable.
Brand formulation, alcohol or sugar concentration, carbonation, and serving temperature can change the weight of a measured volume. Use this value as a documented reference rather than a producer specification.
