FAQ's
Can I substitute Cointreau in Acapulco #2 with another ingredient?
Yes, you can substitute Cointreau with Triple Sec or Grand Marnier if Cointreau is not available. Both alternatives will give a similar orange flavor, although the taste might slightly vary due to the different sugar content and manufacturing processes.
What does it mean to serve the Acapulco #2 'cold' and 'shaken, not stirred'?
Serving the Acapulco #2 'cold' means the cocktail should be chilled before serving, usually achieved by shaking it with ice. 'Shaken, not stirred' refers to the method of placing the ingredients in a shaker with ice cubes, then shaking vigorously before straining into a glass. This method cools the drink quickly and mixes the ingredients thoroughly, giving the cocktail a slightly aerated texture, especially important for incorporating the egg white.
How does the alcohol content in Acapulco #2 compare to a standard cocktail?
The Acapulco #2 has an alcohol content of 31.25%, which is considered high compared to many standard cocktails that typically range from 15 to 25%. It makes the Acapulco #2 a stronger choice, ideal for those who prefer a more potent drink.
What is the ideal glass type for serving the Acapulco #2?
The Acapulco #2 is best served in a lowball glass. The lowball glass is ideal for drinks that are served with a large proportion of ice or those that are served neat or with a minimal mixer. Its wider brim also makes it easier to enjoy the aroma of the cocktail.
Is there a non-alcoholic version of the Acapulco #2?
Yes, you can create a non-alcoholic version of the Acapulco #2 by substituting the white rum with a non-alcoholic white rum alternative, and replacing Cointreau with a non-alcoholic orange liqueur or orange juice concentrate. The lime juice, sugar, and egg white remain the same to preserve the cocktail's characteristic flavors and texture.
