The Abortion cocktail is a bold and potent drink that is not for the faint of heart. It is often served as a shot, making it perfect for lively parties and gatherings.

The addition of the tangy grenadine not only gives it a unique taste but also adds depth to the drink. Just like its name, this cocktail is not to be taken lightly, as it packs a punch and is not suitable for those with a weak palate.
Overall, Abortion is a unique and flavorful drink that is sure to get the party started.

Abortion's striking concept, marked by its vivid red color from grenadine matched with the clean sharpness of vodka, invokes robust yet simple fruity flavors. It cuts straight to the chase, offering an intense experience that’s as bold in taste as it is in appearance.

FAQ's
What type of vodka is best for the Abortion cocktail?
For the Abortion cocktail, a high-quality, neutral-flavored vodka is recommended to maintain the balance of flavors without overpowering the grenadine's sweetness. Grain or potato-based vodkas are suitable choices.
Is there a specific temperature to serve the Abortion cocktail?
The Abortion cocktail is best served cold but not over ice. Chilling the vodka and grenadine beforehand will ensure the cocktail maintains its intended flavor profile and temperature.
How does the alcohol content of the Abortion cocktail compare to other shots?
With an alcohol content of 26.67%, the Abortion cocktail falls into the mid-range category for shots. It's stronger than liqueur-based shots but not as potent as shots made with overproof spirits or neat high-proof alcohol.
What occasions are suitable for serving the Abortion cocktail?
Given its unique name and presentation, the Abortion cocktail might suit themed parties or daring tasting events rather than formal occasions. It's a conversation starter, but be mindful of the sensitive nature of its name.
How should the ingredients for the Abortion cocktail be combined?
The Abortion cocktail ingredients should be carefully layered rather than mixed. Pour the vodka first into a shot glass and then slowly add the grenadine to create a visually striking layer effect in the glass.
