FAQ's

Preparation techniques icon

How do I properly stir the Tyzer to ensure the best flavor?

To properly stir the Tyzer cocktail, you'll need a long cocktail spoon. Begin by adding the vodka, white rum, and blackcurrant cordial into your lowball glass filled with ice. Use the spoon to gently stir the mixture for about 30 seconds, ensuring the ingredients are well mixed without diluting the cocktail too much. Finally, top up with lemonade and give it a gentle final stir to integrate the lemonade into the cocktail.

Serving suggestions icon

What is the ideal way to serve a Tyzer?

The ideal way to serve a Tyzer is in a lowball glass, over ice to keep it cold and refreshing. After preparing the cocktail as described, you can optionally add a slice of lemon or a few blackcurrants as garnish for an extra touch of elegance and a hint of freshness in the aroma. Serving it immediately after preparation will ensure the best flavor and temperature.

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I substitute the blackcurrant cordial in a Tyzer with something else?

Yes, if blackcurrant cordial is not available, you can substitute it with another berry-flavored cordial, such as raspberry or blueberry, to maintain the fruity profile of the cocktail. The taste will be slightly different but still delicious. Ensure to use the same quantity (30ml) to keep the balance of flavors.

Alcohol content comparison icon

How does the alcohol content of a Tyzer compare to other classic cocktails?

The Tyzer has an alcohol content of approximately 10.29%, which places it on the lower end of the scale compared to many classic cocktails. For comparison, a Margarita typically has an alcohol content around 20%, and an Old Fashioned can be around 30% or higher depending on the recipe. This makes the Tyzer a lighter option, suitable for those preferring a less strong cocktail experience.

Occasion suitability icon

What occasions are most suitable for serving the Tyzer?

Due to its refreshing and fruity flavor profile, combined with a moderate alcohol content, the Tyzer is particularly suitable for summer parties, outdoor events, or as a welcome drink at casual gatherings.
