FAQ's
What can I use if I can't find Aftershock (Blue)?
If Aftershock (Blue) is unavailable, you can use any cinnamon-flavored blue liqueur as a substitute. The key is to maintain the blue color and spicy flavor profile to keep the cocktail's character.
Is there a specific way to layer the ingredients for a Floating Guinness?
Yes, to achieve the floating effect, it's important to carefully pour the Guinness over the back of a spoon onto the other ingredients. This technique helps to distribute the Guinness gently and creates a layering effect in the drink.
How does the alcohol content of Floating Guinness compare to a standard beer?
With an alcohol content of 6.75%, Floating Guinness is slightly stronger than most standard beers, which typically have an alcohol content around 4% to 6%. It's a bit more potent due to the addition of Aftershock and WKD Blue.
What occasions are best suited for serving Floating Guinness?
Floating Guinness, with its unique presentation and flavor, is well-suited for themed parties or as a novelty drink on special occasions like St. Patrick’s Day, but may be too specific for more formal events.
Can I make a sweeter version of Floating Guinness?
Yes, to make a sweeter version of Floating Guinness, consider adding a splash of raspberry or cherry liqueur, which will not only sweeten the drink but also add a fruity note that complements the existing flavors.
