FAQ's

What is the best way to serve The Phelps Splash?

The Phelps Splash is best served in a highball glass over ice. Make sure the drink is well stirred to blend the blue curaçao, vodka, and soda water evenly. A fun garnishing option could be an orange twist or a slice of lime to add a bit of zest and visual appeal.

What occasions are ideal for serving The Phelps Splash?

The Phelps Splash is perfect for pool parties, summer barbecues, and sports-watching events. Its refreshing and invigorating qualities make it a great choice for warm weather and active gatherings, aligning well with its inspiration from competitive swimming.

What garnishes work well with The Phelps Splash?

A twist of orange peel, a slice of lime, or even a few fresh mint leaves can enhance The Phelps Splash both visually and flavor-wise. A sugar rim on the highball glass can also add a pleasant contrast to the drink's slight bitterness.

Can I substitute the Blue Curaçao or Vodka in The Phelps Splash?

Yes, you can make substitutions if needed. For Blue Curaçao, try using triple sec with a drop of blue food coloring if you want to maintain the vibrant color. For Vodka, white rum can be a good alternative, albeit with a slight change in the flavor profile.

Is The Phelps Splash suitable for someone on a gluten-free diet?

Yes, The Phelps Splash can be gluten-free provided you use a vodka that is certified gluten-free. Most pure vodkas are distilled from potatoes, corn, or grapes and are gluten-free, but be sure to check the label to ensure there are no gluten-containing additives.
