Hooligan Soup
Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.71 / 5
The Hooligan Soup cocktail is a simple, robust concoction traditionally served in a pint glass, capturing the essence of British pub culture. The drink combines the deep, malty flavors of Guinness with the crisp, fruity notes of cider, crowned with a hint of sweet and tangy blackcurrant cordial. This blend results in a layered beverage that offers a balance between the bitterness synonymous with stout and the refreshing quality of apple cider, with an underlying berry sweetness that ties the flavors together. While its name might conjure images of rowdy sports fans, the cocktail itself is a companionable choice for a variety of social settings.
