FAQ's

Ingredient specifics icon

What can I use as a substitute if I don't have peach schnapps for the VPL cocktail?

If you don't have peach schnapps, a good substitute could be apricot brandy or a peach-flavored liqueur. These alternatives will maintain the fruity profile that is integral to the VPL cocktail.

Preparation techniques icon

Since the VPL cocktail is neither shaken nor stirred, how should I mix the ingredients effectively?

For cocktails like the VPL which are neither shaken nor stirred, the best method is to layer the ingredients directly in the glass. Carefully pour each ingredient over the back of a spoon to create distinct layers or gently pour them in order to blend them slightly without agitation.

Alcohol content comparison icon

How does the alcohol content of the VPL compare to more traditional cocktails?

The VPL has an alcohol content of approximately 31.67%, which is relatively high for its volume. Traditional cocktails such as a Margarita or a Martini typically range from 15% to 30% alcohol by volume, making the VPL quite strong in comparison.

Serving suggestions icon

What is the best way to serve a VPL cocktail for the optimal taste experience?

To serve a VPL cocktail optimally, ensure it is well chilled by either pre-chilling the ingredients or the shot glass itself. Serving it cold without dilution highlights the sharp, vibrant flavors of the vodka and peach schnapps, making for a bracing and refreshing shot.

Occasion suitability icon

What occasions are most suitable for serving the VPL cocktail?

Given its strong, bold flavours and high alcohol content, the VPL cocktail is best suited for lively occasions such as parties, celebratory events, or as a conversational starter in a casual gathering. Its shot glass presentation also makes it ideal for toasting.
