FAQ's
Can I use a different type of ice cream in the Best Western Hit cocktail?
Yes, you can use a different type of ice cream in the Best Western Hit cocktail. While vanilla ice cream is recommended for its classic flavor, feel free to explore with flavors such as chocolate, caramel, or even coffee ice cream to add a unique twist to your cocktail.
What is the best way to serve the Best Western Hit?
The Best Western Hit is best served in a champagne glass to add an element of sophistication. Make sure the cocktail is well-chilled by shaking with ice before straining into the glass. No garnish is specified, but a small scoop of vanilla ice cream on top or a sprig of mint could enhance its presentation.
How does the alcohol content of Best Western Hit compare to a standard cocktail?
With an alcohol content of 14.14%, the Best Western Hit sits on the lower to moderate end of the alcohol content spectrum for cocktails. Standard cocktails typically range from 10% to 20% alcohol by volume (ABV), depending on the recipe and serving size. This makes the Best Western Hit relatively mild compared to stronger cocktails like a Margarita or a Manhattan.
Should the ingredients for the Best Western Hit be blended or shaken?
The Best Western Hit should be shaken, not stirred. This method helps to thoroughly mix the liqueurs with the vanilla ice cream, resulting in a smooth, well-combined cocktail. Blending could be an alternative if a more slushie-like consistency is desired, but shaking is the recommended technique.
What occasions are best suited for serving the Best Western Hit?
The Best Western Hit, with its creamy texture and indulgent flavor profile, is especially suited for dessert occasions or as a luxurious after-dinner drink. Its sophisticated presentation makes it a great choice for dinner parties, celebratory events, or even a cozy night in.
