FAQ's

Ingredient substitutions icon

What can I use instead of lime cordial in the Grapsy cocktail?

If you don't have lime cordial, you can substitute it with a mixture of fresh lime juice and simple syrup. Use about 5ml of lime juice and 5ml of simple syrup to replace the 10ml of lime cordial, adjusting for taste.

Serving suggestions icon

Is there a specific garnish recommended for the Grapsy cocktail?

While the recipe for Grapsy doesn't specify garnishes, a thin slice of grapefruit or a twist of lime would complement the flavors of the cocktail beautifully. You can place it on the rim of the glass or float it on top for a visually appealing presentation.

Alcohol content comparison icon

How does the alcohol content in a Grapsy compare to a standard glass of wine?

The Grapsy has an alcohol content of 12%, which is roughly equivalent to a standard glass of wine, which typically has an alcohol content around 11% to 14%. This makes the Grapsy close to wine in terms of alcohol by volume.

Customization ideas icon

Can I make a sweeter version of the Grapsy cocktail?

Yes, to make a sweeter version of the Grapsy, you can increase the amount of lemonade or lime cordial slightly, or add a teaspoon of simple syrup. Adjusting these ingredients will allow you to sweeten the cocktail to your liking without altering the fundamental character.

Preparation techniques icon

Why is the Grapsy cocktail shaken and not stirred?

The Grapsy cocktail is shaken to ensure that the mixture of its ingredients, particularly the viscous lime cordial and the dense grapefruit juice, is thoroughly integrated. Shaking also chills and aerates the drink, providing a more refreshing experience than stirring would.
