FAQ's

Serving suggestions icon

What is the ideal way to serve the Dr Feelgood cocktail?

The Dr Feelgood cocktail is best served in a highball glass with ice. Ensure the ingredients are well stirred, not shaken, to blend the flavors while maintaining the cocktail's smooth texture. Garnish with a slice of pineapple or a maraschino cherry for an extra touch.

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I substitute coconut milk with something else in the Dr Feelgood cocktail?

Yes, if coconut milk is not available or preferred, you can substitute it with coconut cream for a richer texture or almond milk for a lighter, dairy-free option. Both alternatives will slightly alter the flavor profile but still complement the overall taste of the cocktail.

Non alcoholic variations icon

Is there a non-alcoholic version of the Dr Feelgood cocktail?

Certainly! For a non-alcoholic version of Dr Feelgood, replace the vodka with an equal amount of sparkling water or coconut water to maintain the volume while keeping the flavors balanced. This variation offers a refreshing taste suitable for all ages.

Is the Dr Feelgood cocktail vegan?
