FAQ's

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I substitute a different flavor of liqueur if I don’t have melon liqueur for the Katcha?

Yes, you can substitute a different flavor of liqueur if you don't have melon liqueur. However, the taste profile will significantly change. Peach or mango liqueur can offer a similarly sweet and fruity character, but remember, the uniqueness of the Katcha largely comes from its melon flavor.

Garnishing tips icon

What are some garnishing tips to make the Katcha more visually appealing?

To enhance the visual appeal of the Katcha, consider adding a thin slice of melon or a small melon ball on the rim of the glass. A mint sprig could also add a nice touch of color and a fresh aroma. For a more decadent look, a drizzle of vanilla syrup on top of the ice cream before serving can make it visually more enticing.

Serving suggestions icon

What is the best way to serve the Katcha for a refreshing experience?

The Katcha is best served cold in a highball glass. Ensure the lemonade is chilled and the scoop of vanilla ice cream is firm. Serving immediately after preparing will keep the ice cream from melting too quickly, providing a refreshing and creamy texture. A straw and a long spoon can also enhance the drinking experience, allowing guests to stir as they enjoy.

Alcohol content comparison icon

How does the alcohol content in the Katcha compare to a standard cocktail?

With an alcohol content of 2%, the Katcha is significantly lower in alcohol than a standard cocktail, which typically ranges from 10% to 25% alcohol by volume (ABV). The Katcha is ideal for those seeking a lighter, more refreshing alcoholic beverage, making it suitable for occasions when you prefer to maintain a lower alcohol intake.

Non alcoholic variations icon

Is there a non-alcoholic version of the Katcha, and how can it be made?

Yes, a non-alcoholic version of the Katcha can easily be made by substituting the melon liqueur with a melon-flavored syrup or juice. Keep the proportions similar to maintain the flavor balance. This variation allows everyone to enjoy the sweet and creamy character of the Katcha without the alcohol content.
