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.

ALCOHOL_CONTENT_COMPARISON

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.

CUSTOMIZATION_IDEAS

Are there any popular customizations for Nellie’s Frog to suit personal tastes?
