Preparation techniques icon

How should 'What A Mess' be properly shaken?

To properly shake 'What A Mess', fill a shaker with ice and add the Peach Schnapps, White Rum, and Apple Liqueur. Shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds to chill and mix the ingredients well. Then, strain into a lowball glass and top up with lemonade. This method ensures a cold, mixed drink, capturing its signature flavor.

Serving suggestions icon

What is the ideal glassware for serving 'What A Mess'?

'What A Mess' is best served in a lowball glass. This type of glassware is perfect for drinks that are served on the rocks or need to be topped up with a small amount of a non-alcoholic mixer, such as lemonade in this case, allowing for the perfect balance of flavors in each sip.

The alcohol content in 'What A Mess' is approximately 6%, which is relatively low compared to standard cocktails that typically range from 10% to 20% alcohol by volume (ABV). This makes 'What A Mess' a lighter alternative, suitable for those who prefer a less potent drink.

Customization ideas icon

Can 'What A Mess' be customized for a stronger flavor?

Yes, 'What A Mess' can be customized for a stronger flavor by adjusting the ratio of alcoholic ingredients to lemonade or by adding an extra shot of either Peach Schnapps, White Rum, or Apple Liqueur. Experimenting with different brands of these liquors can also introduce nuanced flavors, personalizing the drink further.

Occasion suitability icon

What types of occasions is 'What A Mess' best suited for?

Given its fun name, refreshing qualities, and lower alcohol content, 'What A Mess' is best suited for casual gatherings, summer parties, or as a relaxing drink on a warm day. Its unique blend of flavors offers a pleasant drinking experience, making it a great addition to any social occasion.
