FAQ's

Preparation techniques icon

How do I achieve the best results when shaking the Raspberry Blonde cocktail?

To achieve the best results, start with filling your shaker with ice, then add the Triple Sec, cranberry juice, lemon juice, grenadine, apple juice, and vanilla vodka. Shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds to chill and mix the ingredients well. This not only cools the drink but also dilutes it slightly, making it smoother to drink.

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I substitute another type of vodka if I don't have vanilla vodka for the Raspberry Blonde?

Yes, you can substitute plain vodka for vanilla vodka if you don't have it. To mimic the vanilla flavor, you can add a tiny drop of pure vanilla extract to the cocktail. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste.

Alcohol content comparison icon

How does the 10% alcohol content of the Raspberry Blonde compare to other classic cocktails?

The Raspberry Blonde, with its 10% alcohol content, is on the lower end of the alcohol spectrum compared to classic cocktails like a Margarita or a Martini, which can range from 15% to as high as 30% alcohol by volume. It's a lighter option, making it suitable for those preferring a less potent drink.
