FAQ's

Alcohol content comparison icon

How does the alcohol content of Suitcase compare to other shots?

The Suitcase cocktail has an alcohol content of 27.5%, which is relatively moderate compared to other shot drinks. Typically, straight spirits used in shots have an alcohol by volume (ABV) of around 40%. However, since the Suitcase includes both whiskey and a liqueur, its lower ABV makes it a slightly less potent option suitable for those seeking a milder shot.

Serving suggestions icon

What is the best way to serve a Suitcase cocktail?

The Suitcase cocktail is best served cold in a shot glass. Given its composition and total volume of 30ml, it's designed to be enjoyed in a single gulp. To enhance the experience, you can chill the shot glasses in advance. This cocktail is not shaken or stirred, but you can briefly cool the ingredients together in a mixing glass with ice before straining them into the shot glass if desired.

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I substitute another type of liqueur if I don't have passion fruit liqueur for the Suitcase cocktail?

Yes, you can substitute another type of fruit liqueur if you don't have passion fruit liqueur. Consider using a liqueur with a similar sweetness and tanginess to maintain the balance of the drink. Mango liqueur or peach liqueur could be good alternatives. Adjust the quantity slightly based on the sweetness and flavor intensity of the substitute to ensure the Suitcase maintains its distinct character.

Customization ideas icon

What are some ways to customize the Suitcase cocktail to suit personal tastes?

The Suitcase cocktail offers room for customization. You can adjust the whiskey to liqueur ratio based on your preference for sweetness or strength. Adding a dash of lime juice or a sprinkle of chili powder can introduce a new layer of flavor. For a visually appealing twist, consider garnishing with a small slice of passion fruit or a lime twist. These customizations allow you to tailor the cocktail to your taste preferences while maintaining its original spirit.

Preparation techniques icon

Is there a preferred technique for combining the ingredients of the Suitcase cocktail?

Since the Suitcase cocktail is neither shaken nor stirred, the preferred technique for combining its ingredients is to simply pour them into the shot glass in the order listed. If you prefer the ingredients to be chilled, you can briefly mix them in a mixing glass with ice before straining into the shot glass. This method chills the drink without dilution from shaking or stirring, keeping the flavors robust and the texture smooth.
