FAQ's

Serving suggestions icon

What is the best way to serve The Royal cocktail to preserve its flavor and carbonation?

The Royal cocktail should be served in a chilled champagne glass to keep it cold and maintain the effervescence of the champagne or prosecco. Pouring the vodka first followed by topping up with champagne directly into the glass helps preserve the bubbles and the flavor.

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I substitute another spirit for vodka in The Royal cocktail?

While vodka is the traditional choice for The Royal, for a different flavor profile, you can substitute it with a clear, unflavored spirit like white rum or gin. These substitutes should be used in the same quantity to maintain the alcohol content and balance of the cocktail.

Garnishing tips icon

What are some garnishing tips for The Royal cocktail to enhance its presentation?

To elevate the presentation of The Royal, consider adding a simple garnish like a lemon twist or a few raspberries in the glass before serving. These garnishes add a pop of color and can complement the flavors of the cocktail.

Occasion suitability icon

What type of occasions is The Royal cocktail best suited for?

The Royal cocktail, with its elegant combination of vodka and champagne or prosecco, is perfectly suited for celebratory occasions like weddings, New Year's Eve parties, or any gathering where a touch of sophistication and celebration is desired.

Alcohol content comparison icon

How does the alcohol content of The Royal compare to other classic cocktails?

The Royal has an alcohol content of 14.33%, which places it in the mid-range when compared to other classic cocktails.
