FAQ's
![SERVING_SUGGESTIONS](https://makemeacocktail.com/img/faq-icons/serving.avif)
What is the best way to serve a Dett Long cocktail?
The Dett Long should be served cold in a lowball glass. To best enjoy its flavor, make sure the cherry brandy and tonic water are chilled before mixing. No shaking or stirring is required; simply pour the cherry brandy into the glass and top up with tonic water. You may add ice cubes if you prefer your drink extra cold.
![INGREDIENT_SUBSTITUTIONS](https://makemeacocktail.com/img/faq-icons/ingredient_swap.avif)
Can I substitute any ingredients in a Dett Long cocktail?
Yes, if cherry brandy is not available or you wish to experiment with flavors, you could substitute it with other fruit-flavored brandies or liqueurs. However, keep in mind that this will change the taste profile of the cocktail. For a non-alcoholic version, a cherry-flavored syrup could be used in place of cherry brandy.
![GARNISHING_TIPS](https://makemeacocktail.com/img/faq-icons/garnishing.avif)
Are there any recommended garnishes for a Dett Long?
While the Dett Long does not necessarily require garnishes, adding a cherry or a slice of lemon can enhance its appearance and add an extra layer of flavor. A sprig of mint could also add a refreshing touch, especially in warmer weather.
![ALCOHOL_CONTENT_COMPARISON](https://makemeacocktail.com/img/faq-icons/alcohol_comparison.avif)
How does the alcohol content of a Dett Long compare to other cocktails?
The Dett Long has a relatively low alcohol content, at 3.43%, making it lighter than many classic cocktails. For comparison, a typical Margarita might have an alcohol content around 14%, while a Long Island Iced Tea can exceed 22%. The Dett Long is a good choice for those seeking a less potent beverage.
![OCCASION_SUITABILITY](https://makemeacocktail.com/img/faq-icons/occasion.avif)
What occasions are most suitable for serving a Dett Long?
Given its lighter alcohol content and refreshing taste, the Dett Long is ideally suited for casual get-togethers, pool parties, or as a pre-dinner drink at informal gatherings. Its simplicity and low alcohol level make it a pleasant choice for a wide range of occasions, especially in the warmer months.
