Ferrari In A Glass is a bold, modern highball-style mixed drink that leans into the bright, candy-coloured “party cocktail” tradition rather than classic lineage. You’ll find it sits firmly in the sweet-and-sparkly corner of the spectrum, built for impact and easy sipping. There isn’t a widely established origin story attached to this name, so it reads more like a playful, speed-themed creation designed to look as loud as it tastes.
On the palate, grenadine brings a deep red sweetness that sets the base, while raspberry cordial pushes that fruitiness into a more concentrated, jammy direction. The energy drink adds a sharp, fizzy lift that keeps the sugars from feeling too heavy. WKD blue layers in extra sweetness and a vivid, electric-blue note that turns the overall profile into a bright, mixed-berry-and-candy style drink with a punchy finish.
Serve it in a highball glass when you want something fun, colourful, and unapologetically sweet—think house parties, pre-drinks, or any night where the vibe is more playful than polished. It’s a good fit if you enjoy fruit-forward mixers and want a drink that feels lively from the first sip to the last.

Highball glass
Ingredients
Cocktail Colin says:
Grenadine and raspberry cordial lead with thick, candy-sweet red fruit, while the energy drink adds sharp, fizzy bite and a synthetic tang; the double hit of WKD blue brings a sugary citrus-berry note that turns the whole highball into liquid confection. It works if you want maximal sweetness with carbonation to keep it moving, best for party-drink fans and anyone who likes energy-drink snap over balanced complexity.
