FAQ's
What is the best way to serve The Academy cocktail to enhance its flavors?
The Academy cocktail is best served cold in a Lowball glass. To enhance its flavors, ensure the glass is chilled before serving. Adding a large ice cube rather than smaller ones can also prevent dilution, keeping the flavors robust.
What garnishes work well with The Academy to elevate its presentation?
A simple orange slice or a twist works well as a garnish for The Academy. It complements the orange juice flavor in the cocktail. Alternatively, an apple slice can echo the apple juice component and add a fresh touch to the presentation.
Can I substitute another type of juice for the orange juice in The Academy?
Yes, you can substitute the orange juice with another citrus juice like grapefruit or lemon juice for a tangier taste. Keep in mind that this will alter the original flavor profile of the cocktail, but it can offer a refreshing variation.
How does the alcohol content in The Academy compare to other popular cocktails?
The Academy has a relatively low alcohol content of 3.43%. This is lower than many classic cocktails such as Margaritas or Martinis, which typically have an alcohol content ranging from 10% to 20%. The Academy can be considered a lighter option, suitable for occasions when you prefer a milder cocktail.
Is there a non-alcoholic version of The Academy, and how can it be made?
Yes, you can easily make a non-alcoholic version of The Academy by substituting the gin with a non-alcoholic spirit or simply leaving it out. Mix the orange and apple juices in the recommended volumes and top up with some sparkling water for a refreshing alternative.
