The Deep Blu cocktail is a striking and potent mix that features the bold flavors of absinthe blended with the sweet, fruity taste of WKD Blue, a brightly colored alcoholic beverage popular in the UK. This combination in a highball glass results in a vibrant blue drink with a mix of herbaceous and sweet notes, making for an eye-catching and somewhat unconventional cocktail experience.

Since absinthe is known for its strong anise flavor and high alcohol content, the Deep Blu is likely to have a licorice-like taste with a playful, sweet twist, appealing to those who enjoy adventurous and visually appealing mixed drinks.

Cocktail Colin says:

4/5

Deep Blu offers a daring mix where the strong anise-flavored absinthe clashes with the sweet, artificial blueberry flavor of WKD blue, creating a cocktail that is not only vibrant in color but also bold in taste. This concoction is for those who appreciate a visual punch and a palate challenge.

FAQ's

Ingredient specifics icon

What flavors does WKD Blue add to the Deep Blu cocktail?

WKD Blue, a popular alcopop, introduces a mix of fruity flavors and a vibrant blue color to the Deep Blu cocktail. It typically has a sweet, slightly citrusy taste which, when combined with the herbal and complex profile of absinthe, creates a unique and refreshing flavor profile for the drink.

Alcohol content comparison icon

How does the alcohol content of Deep Blu compare to other popular cocktails?

With an alcohol content of 22.4%, Deep Blu falls into the mid to high range of alcohol content when compared to other cocktails. For instance, it's stronger than a classic Mojito (around 10%) but not as potent as a straight Martini or Manhattan, which can approach 30% alcohol content depending on the recipe.

Serving suggestions icon

What is the ideal way to serve a Deep Blu for the best taste experience?

The ideal serving suggestion for a Deep Blu is in a chilled highball glass to keep the drink cold, enhancing its refreshing qualities. It's recommended to stir the ingredients well but not shake, to perfectly blend the absinthe and WKD Blue without over-diluting the cocktail. Serving it with a large ice cube can also help maintain its cool temperature longer without too much dilution.

Garnishing tips icon

Are there any garnish recommendations to enhance the visual appeal of Deep Blu?

To enhance the visual appeal of Deep Blu, consider adding a twist of lemon or lime peel for a pop of color and a citrus aroma that complements its fruity and herbal flavors. Additionally, a couple of fresh mint leaves could add a refreshing scent and make the presentation more vibrant.

Occasion suitability icon

What type of occasions are most suitable for serving the Deep Blu cocktail?

The Deep Blu cocktail, with its striking blue appearance and unique flavor profile, makes it a great choice for summer parties, beach gatherings, or any festive occasion where a visually impactful and refreshing drink is desired. Its bold color and taste can easily make it the centerpiece of a themed event or an exotic addition to a cocktail menu.
