Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.95 / 5
The cocktail named Wankered is a simple, cold, alcoholic beverage that combines the distinctive bright blue of WKD Blue with the crispness of a cider like Strongbow. Served in a pint glass, this drink is a straightforward mix that tends to be favored in casual settings, particularly within UK pub culture where both ingredients are popular. The flavor profile leans toward the sweet and fruity end of the spectrum, largely influenced by the sugary, berry-like taste of WKD Blue, with an effervescent undertone provided by the cider. Its playful name and vibrant color make it a stand-out choice for those seeking an uncomplicated and refreshing alcoholic option.
