FAQ's

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I substitute something else for the Blue Curaçao in the M.I.T. cocktail?

Yes, you can substitute Blue Curaçao with Triple Sec or another orange-flavored liqueur if you don't have it. To maintain the blue color of the cocktail, you might add a drop of blue food coloring to the substitute liqueur.

Garnishing tips icon

What are some creative garnishing ideas for the M.I.T. cocktail?

Aside from the lime wedge, you could garnish the M.I.T. cocktail with a sprig of mint for freshness or a few blueberries skewered on a cocktail pick to complement the blue color of the drink and add a fruity touch.

Serving suggestions icon

What is the ideal way to serve the M.I.T. cocktail to enhance its flavors?

The M.I.T. cocktail is best served cold in a pint glass. Adding ice to the glass before pouring in the mixed ingredients helps to keep the drink chilled and dilutes it slightly for a smoother taste. Stirring gently before serving ensures all the flavors are well blended.

How does the alcohol content in the M.I.T. cocktail compare to a standard glass of wine?

The M.I.T. cocktail has an alcohol content of approximately 7.38%, which is slightly higher than the average glass of wine, which typically has an alcohol content of about 12-14% by volume. However, because the M.I.T. is served in a larger volume (315ml), the overall alcohol intake might be closer to that of a glass of wine.

Occasion suitability icon

What occasions are most suitable for serving the M.I.T. cocktail?

Due to its vibrant color and energetic ingredients, the M.I.T. cocktail is perfect for festive occasions, summer parties, or any lively gatherings where a refreshing and visually striking drink is desired.
