FAQ's

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I use another type of rum instead of white rum in the Happy Hour cocktail?

Yes, you can substitute white rum with dark rum or spiced rum for a deeper flavor profile. However, keep in mind that this may alter the original taste and appearance of the Happy Hour cocktail.

Garnishing tips icon

What garnishes would complement the Happy Hour cocktail?

To enhance the tropical vibe of the Happy Hour cocktail, consider garnishing with a pineapple wedge, a strawberry slice, or a lime wheel. A sprig of mint could also add a refreshing aroma.

Serving suggestions icon

What is the best way to serve the Happy Hour cocktail?

Serve the Happy Hour cocktail cold, in a highball glass. Ensure the ingredients are well stirred but not shaken, and consider adding ice to keep the cocktail chilled longer. An optional garnish can be added for visual appeal.

Alcohol content comparison icon

How does the alcohol content of the Happy Hour cocktail compare to a classic Mojito?

The Happy Hour cocktail has an alcohol content of approximately 13.57%, which is slightly higher than a classic Mojito’s alcohol content, typically around 10-12% depending on preparation. This makes the Happy Hour a stronger option.

Non alcoholic variations icon

Is there a non-alcoholic version of the Happy Hour cocktail?

Yes, to create a non-alcoholic variant of the Happy Hour cocktail, substitute white rum with a non-alcoholic spirit or additional pineapple juice. Omit the energy drink if seeking a caffeine-free version. Adjust proportions to taste, maintaining the tropical and refreshing character of the drink.
