Garnishing tips icon

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.

Ingredient substitutions icon

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.
