FAQ's

What is the best way to serve Nellie’s Frog to enhance its taste?
Nellie’s Frog is best served cold in a pint glass. Ensuring that both the Smirnoff Ice and the WKD blue are chilled before mixing will enhance the taste. It is recommended to stir the ingredients gently after pouring them into the glass to maintain their fizzy quality.

What occasions are most suitable for serving Nellie’s Frog?
Given its unique mix and playful name, Nellie’s Frog is most suitable for casual gatherings, summer parties, or as a fun novelty drink for themed events. Its bright color and sweet taste make it a hit for light-hearted celebrations.

How does the alcohol content of Nellie’s Frog compare to that of a standard beer?
Nellie’s Frog has an alcohol content of 4.25%, which places it very close to the average alcohol by volume (ABV) of many standard beers, which typically range from 4% to 6%. It's a good alternative for those looking for something different but with a similar alcohol level.

Are there any popular customizations for Nellie’s Frog to suit personal tastes?
While Nellie’s Frog follows a simple recipe, it can be customized by adding fruit garnishes like lime wedges or berries for added freshness and a pop of color. For a sweeter twist, a splash of lemonade or a fruit-flavored syrup can be added.

Can any ingredients be substituted in Nellie’s Frog if WKD blue or Smirnoff Ice aren’t available?
If WKD blue or Smirnoff Ice aren’t available, similar alternatives could include any blue-colored, fruit-flavored alcopop for WKD blue, and any lemon-lime flavored alcopop or clear lemonade with a splash of vodka for Smirnoff Ice. The goal is to maintain the color and fruity, fizzy characteristics of the original cocktail.
