FAQ's
We've collated some quick fire Q&A's on the question to help you find exactly what you're looking for.
What makes a cocktail light and refreshing?
Light and refreshing cocktails typically have a lower alcohol content and include ingredients like fresh fruit juices, soda water, and herbs. They are balanced in flavor, often with citrusy or herbal notes, making them easy to sip over a long period.
Are there any non-alcoholic versions of light cocktails?
Yes, many light cocktails can be made non-alcoholic by simply omitting the alcohol and increasing the amount of mixer or substituting with non-alcoholic spirits. Ingredients like fresh juices, sodas, and syrups work well for creating mocktails.
What are some tips for making cocktails less strong?
To make cocktails less strong, use more mixers like soda water, tonic, or fresh juice. You can also reduce the amount of alcohol or use lower-proof spirits to lessen the overall alcohol content without compromising on flavor.
Can light cocktails be batch-prepared for a party?
Yes, light cocktails are great for batch preparation. Mix all the ingredients except any carbonated ones like soda water in a large pitcher. Keep it chilled and add the sodas just before serving to keep the drinks fresh and fizzy.
What garnishes work well for light cocktails?
Common garnishes for light cocktails include fresh herbs like mint or basil, citrus slices such as lime, lemon, or orange, and berries. These garnishes enhance the visual appeal and can add a subtle flavor boost to the drink.
