FAQ's
What can I use instead of whiskey in the Finlay Fizz cocktail?
For a non-alcoholic version, you can substitute whiskey with non-alcoholic whiskey alternatives or a mixture of tea and non-alcoholic vanilla extract to mimic the whiskey flavor. For an alcoholic version, bourbon or Scotch can offer a different taste profile while staying true to the spirit of the cocktail.
What are some recommended garnishes for the Finlay Fizz?
A lemon or orange zest twist could add a nice aromatic touch to the Finlay Fizz. Additionally, a maraschino cherry or a few fresh berries can also complement the flavors in the drink.
What is the best way to serve the Finlay Fizz?
The Finlay Fizz should be served in a highball glass over ice. Ensure the whiskey and maple syrup are well stirred before topping up with soda water. Providing a stirrer with the drink allows guests to mix their drink further if desired.
How can I customize the Finlay Fizz cocktail to suit my taste?
Adjust the amount of maple syrup to make the cocktail sweeter or more subtle according to your preference. You can also experiment with different types of whiskey or add a dash of bitters for a more complex flavor profile.
How does the alcohol content in Finlay Fizz compare to other cocktails?
With an alcohol content of 4%, the Finlay Fizz is on the lower end compared to many classic cocktails, making it a lighter choice. For example, a Margarita typically has an alcohol content around 13-15%, making the Finlay Fizz a more sessionable option.
