To properly shake the Bow Chikka Wowwow cocktail, fill a shaker with ice, add the lemonade, apple liqueur, butterscotch schnapps, cherry brandy, cherry liqueur, and vodka. Secure the lid or shaker top and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds until well-chilled. Then, strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with ice.
What is the best way to serve the Bow Chikka Wowwow cocktail?
The best way to serve the Bow Chikka Wowwow cocktail is in a highball glass filled with ice. After shaking the ingredients and straining, you can garnish with a cherry or a slice of lemon on the rim of the glass for an added touch. Serve immediately while cold.
What garnishes work well with the Bow Chikka Wowwow?
Given the sweet and fruity flavors of the Bow Chikka Wowwow, garnishes that complement these notes such as a slice of lemon, a lime wheel, or a maraschino cherry work well. An orange slice could also add a citrusy aroma that complements the cocktail's flavors.
Can I substitute the apple liqueur in the Bow Chikka Wowwow with something else?
If you don't have apple liqueur, you can substitute it with pear liqueur or another fruit-flavored liqueur of your choice. The goal is to maintain the fruity sweetness that the apple liqueur contributes to the cocktail. Adjustments in the amount might be necessary to match the apple liqueur's flavor intensity.
How does the alcohol content in the Bow Chikka Wowwow compare to other cocktails?
With an alcohol content of 13.85%, the Bow Chikka Wowwow falls into the mid-range of cocktail alcohol contents. It's stronger than light cocktails like a Mimosa (around 10%) but less potent than strong cocktails such as a Martini or Old Fashioned, which often exceed 20% alcohol by volume (ABV). This makes it a moderately strong cocktail suitable for those preferring a balanced drink.
