FAQ's

Preparation techniques icon

How do you properly stir 'The Guilty' to ensure the flavors are well mixed?

To stir 'The Guilty' properly, use a long spoon to reach the bottom of the pitcher glass. Gently rotate the spoon in a circular motion for about 30 seconds to ensure the vodka, lemonade, WKD blue, and raspberry liqueur are thoroughly mixed, keeping the drink cold and preventing dilution from too much agitation.

Serving suggestions icon

What is the best way to serve 'The Guilty' to enhance its presentation and taste?

Serve 'The Guilty' in a chilled pitcher glass to keep it refreshingly cold. Consider adding a few ice cubes to the glass before pouring the cocktail. Garnish with fresh raspberries or a lemon twist to enhance the visual appeal and introduce a fresh aroma that complements the drink's flavors.

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I substitute the raspberry liqueur in 'The Guilty' with something else, and what would you recommend?

Yes, you can substitute the raspberry liqueur with blackcurrant liqueur or cherry liqueur if you prefer different fruit notes. Both substitutes would maintain the fruity profile of 'The Guilty' while offering a slightly different taste experience.

Alcohol content comparison icon

How does the alcohol content of 'The Guilty' compare to a standard drink?

The Guilty has an alcohol content of 6.09%, which is relatively low compared to a standard drink like a 5 oz glass of wine (around 12% alcohol) or a 12 oz beer (about 5% alcohol). Therefore, it's milder and could be more suitable for occasions when you prefer a lighter alcoholic beverage.

Occasion suitability icon

What occasions are best suited for serving 'The Guilty'?

Given its fun presentation and refreshing taste, 'The Guilty' is perfectly suited for casual gatherings, summer parties, or as a fun drink option during game nights. Its light and fruity profile makes it a hit among guests who enjoy sweet and colorful cocktails.
