FAQ's

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I substitute whiskey in a Slow Comfortable Screw with another type of alcohol?

Yes, you can substitute whiskey with vodka if you want to stick closer to the traditional version known as a 'Slow Screw.' The change will slightly alter the taste profile, making it less robust and smoother.

Garnishing tips icon

What garnish works best with a Slow Comfortable Screw?

A slice of orange or a cherry works best as a garnish for a Slow Comfortable Screw. It complements the orange juice and the slight tartness of the sloe gin, adding a refreshing and visually appealing touch.

Alcohol content comparison icon

How does the alcohol content of a Slow Comfortable Screw compare to a regular cocktail?

With an alcohol content of 16%, a Slow Comfortable Screw has a moderately high alcohol content compared to standard cocktails, which usually range between 10% to 15%. It's strong but not overly potent, making it a good choice for those who prefer a mildly stronger drink.

Preparation techniques icon

Is there a specific order to add the ingredients when making a Slow Comfortable Screw?

While the order of ingredients is not critically important given the shaking step, a good practice is to start with the sloe gin and whiskey, then add the orange juice, and finally, add a dash of Angostura bitters before shaking. This ensures that the heavier ingredients get properly mixed with the lighter ones.

Serving suggestions icon

What is the ideal occasion to serve a Slow Comfortable Screw?

A Slow Comfortable Screw is ideal for summer gatherings or as a brunch cocktail. Its refreshing and fruity nature makes it a perfect choice for warm weather occasions, or when you're looking for a leisurely, comforting drink.
