Hairy Wizard
Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.55 / 5
The Hairy Wizard is a high-energy cocktail that combines the clear, smooth notes of vodka with the botanicals of gin for a potent kick. The addition of an energy drink introduces a sweet and tangy flavor profile, often with a hint of citrus, and gives the beverage a carbonated effervescence. Typically served in a pint glass, the Hairy Wizard is a popular choice among those seeking a lively drink that's both refreshing and bold, making it suitable for lively social gatherings or as a pick-me-up. Its name suggests a playful and perhaps robust character, matching the cocktail's lively spirit.
