FAQ's

Serving suggestions icon

What is the best way to serve the Happy Days cocktail?

The best way to serve the Happy Days cocktail is in a chilled cocktail glass. Since the drink is stirred and not shaken, make sure all ingredients are well combined over ice in a mixing glass first. Then, strain the mixture into the cocktail glass. This enhances the flavors and ensures the drink is served cold.

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I substitute anything for the peach schnapps in the Happy Days cocktail?

Yes, if peach schnapps is not available, you can substitute it with apricot brandy or another fruit-flavored liqueur. The goal is to maintain the fruity profile of the drink, so consider liqueurs that complement the existing flavors of pineapple and grapefruit juice.

Alcohol content comparison icon

How does the alcohol content in Happy Days compare to a standard drink?

The Happy Days cocktail has an alcohol content of 13.75%. In comparison, a standard drink in many countries is considered to contain about 14 grams of pure alcohol, which roughly equates to 5% to 12% alcohol by volume depending on the type of drink. Therefore, the Happy Days cocktail falls into the higher range of alcohol content for a single mixed drink, making it relatively strong.
