FAQ's

Alcohol content comparison icon

How does the alcohol content in The Original Shrek compare to a standard cocktail?

The alcohol content of The Original Shrek is 11.14%, which is moderately high. Standard cocktails typically range from 10% to 15% alcohol by volume (ABV), placing The Original Shrek within the common range but on the lower end of stronger cocktails.

Serving suggestions icon

What's the best way to serve The Original Shrek to enhance its flavors?

The Original Shrek should be served cold in a pint glass, as suggested. For an enhanced experience, make sure the ingredients, especially the WKD blue and peach schnapps, are chilled before mixing. Serving it over ice can also help maintain its cool temperature, ensuring a refreshing taste.

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I substitute anything for WKD blue in The Original Shrek if I can't find it?

If WKD blue is unavailable, you can substitute it with another blue-colored, fruit-flavored alcoholic beverage. A blue Curacao mixed with a clear soda (e.g., Sprite or 7up) can approximate both the color and the slightly fruity flavor profile. Adjust the ratio to your taste.

Customization ideas icon

How can I adjust The Original Shrek cocktail to make it sweeter or less sweet?

To make The Original Shrek sweeter, consider adding a splash of simple syrup or grenadine. If you prefer it less sweet, increase the ratio of vodka slightly, or add a few dashes of lemon or lime juice to cut through the sweetness with a bit of acidity.
