FAQ's
Can I substitute Sloe Gin with something else in a Savoy Tango?
Yes, if you don't have Sloe Gin, you can try using a berry-flavored liqueur or regular gin infused with berries. However, keep in mind that Sloe Gin's unique flavor is quite distinctive, and substitutions may alter the cocktail's traditional taste.
Why is the Savoy Tango shaken and not stirred?
The Savoy Tango is shaken to better mix the dense sloe gin with the Calvados, creating a uniform taste and a slightly aerated texture that enhances the drinking experience. Shaking also chills the cocktail more effectively than stirring.
What is the best way to serve a Savoy Tango?
The Savoy Tango is best served in a chilled cocktail glass, which helps keep the drink cold. Optionally, you can garnish with a thin apple slice or a twist of lemon peel to enhance the visual appeal and add a slight aromatic element.
How does the alcohol content of a Savoy Tango compare to other cocktails?
With an alcohol content of 40%, the Savoy Tango is on the stronger side compared to many other cocktails. Its content is higher than light cocktails such as mimosas (around 10%) but similar to other spirit-forward cocktails like martinis.
What type of occasion is the Savoy Tango best suited for?
The Savoy Tango, with its strong flavor and warming qualities, is perfect for evening events or gatherings in cooler months. Its sophistication makes it suitable for formal occasions or as an elegant after-dinner drink.
