FAQ's

Serving suggestions icon

What is the best way to serve a Jaki Blues cocktail?

The Jaki Blues cocktail is best served cold in a pint glass. Ensure all the ingredients – apple liqueur, orange juice, and WKD blue – are well chilled before mixing. After stirring the ingredients gently, serve immediately to keep the drink refreshing.

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I substitute WKD Blue with another ingredient in the Jaki Blues cocktail?

Yes, if WKD Blue is not available, you can substitute it with any other blue-coloured fruit-flavoured alcoholic beverage to maintain the color theme and similar taste profile. Blue Curacao mixed with a clear soda or lemonade can be an alternative, adjusting the quantities to match the alcohol content and sweetness.

Alcohol content comparison icon

How does the alcohol content in a Jaki Blues compare to other popular cocktails?

With an alcohol content of 3.28%, Jaki Blues is relatively low in alcohol compared to many classic cocktails. For instance, a Margarita typically has an alcohol content around 13-15%, making Jaki Blues a lighter option for those seeking a less potent drink.

Preparation techniques icon

Is it necessary to stir the Jaki Blues cocktail, or can it be shaken?

The Jaki Blues cocktail specification calls for the drink to be stirred, not shaken. Stirring helps to mix the ingredients thoroughly without aerating the drink too much, maintaining a smooth texture. Shaking could dilute the drink more and change its character.

Occasion suitability icon

What occasions are best suited for serving the Jaki Blues cocktail?

Given its vibrant color and refreshing taste, the Jaki Blues cocktail is well-suited for summer parties, casual gatherings, or beach events. Its low alcohol content makes it a great option for daytime events where guests prefer lighter drinks.
