FAQ's
What are the flavor profiles of WKD Blue and Aftershock Red used in the Purple Haze?
WKD Blue is a vibrant, fruity vodka-based drink with a sweet, berry-like flavor, often described as having a blueberry or mixed berry taste. Aftershock Red, on the other hand, is a cinnamon flavored liqueur that provides a spicy kick. When combined in the Purple Haze, you get a unique mix of sweet and spicy flavors.
What is the best way to serve a Purple Haze for optimal enjoyment?
The Purple Haze cocktail is best served cold in a highball glass. For optimal enjoyment, it's advised to stir the ingredients gently rather than shaking, to maintain the clarity and carbonation of the WKD blue. Serving it over ice can also enhance its refreshing quality, perfect for a warm day.
How does the alcohol content of a Purple Haze compare to a standard beer?
The Purple Haze has an alcohol content of 8%, which is significantly higher than most standard beers, which typically range from 4% to 6% alcohol by volume (ABV). This makes the Purple Haze a stronger choice, so it should be enjoyed responsibly.
Is the Purple Haze cocktail suitable for vegetarian or vegan diets?
Both WKD Blue and Aftershock Red usually do not contain any animal products in their ingredients, making the Purple Haze suitable for vegetarians and vegans. However, it is always best to check the latest product specifications or with the manufacturer directly, as formulations can change.
How can I modify the Purple Haze cocktail to accommodate different taste preferences?
To customize the Purple Haze, consider adjusting the proportions of WKD Blue and Aftershock Red based on your preference for sweetness or spice. Adding a splash of soda water can lighten the drink, while incorporating fresh fruit like berries or a cinnamon stick can add interesting flavors and textures. For a less alcoholic variation, reduce the amount of Aftershock Red.

i gave this a whirl and was pleasantly surprised! the blend of fruity and spicy flavors created something truly unique. i used a little extra ice to keep it extra chilled, and the vibrant color was a hit with everyone who saw it. definitely a keeper!
I mixed up the recipe a bit and used only 250ml of WKD Blue and upped the Aftershock to 80ml. It turned out really tasty, with a bit of a stronger cinnamon hit which I loved! The color was still amazing. Overall, a fantastic drink.
