History

The Kinky Cocktail is a modern drink, popular among the younger crowd for its vibrant color and sweet, fruity taste. It's often served at parties and gatherings, and is a favorite among those who enjoy a lighter, sweeter cocktail. The name 'Kinky' comes from the brand of liqueur used in the cocktail, which is known for its bright pink color and unique blend of flavors.

How Kinky Tastes?

The Kinky Cocktail is sweet and fruity, with a slight tartness from the cranberry juice. The Kinky liqueur adds a unique blend of tropical and citrus flavors, while the vodka gives it a bit of a kick. Overall, it's a light and refreshing cocktail with a vibrant, playful taste.

Interesting facts about Kinky

Kinky Liqueur

Kinky Liqueur adds a vivacious pink hue and a fruity fusion of mango, blood orange, and passion fruit flavors that tickle the taste buds. Use 1.5 oz to achieve a balance between sweetness and alcohol content. Too much and you'll be overpowered by sugar, too little and the cocktail loses its kinky kick.

Vodka

1 oz of Vodka is the backbone of this libation, giving it the necessary kick without overshadowing the flavors coming from the liqueur. Skipping it would be like going to a party and forgetting to dance - you'd miss out on the real fun! Substituting with flavored vodka could introduce a new twist but be careful, it's a slippery slope to flavor town.

Cranberry Juice

Cranberry Juice brings tartness and depth, balancing the sweet flavors with a touch of acidity. Without 1 oz of this, you might as well call it a fruit punch. It's the difference between a polite handshake and a high-five that resonates!

Pineapple Juice

Pineapple Juice provides a tropical vibe and helps to smooth out the flavors. It's like the friend who gets along with everyone at a party. Miss out on it, and your cocktail could get a tad too serious. 1 oz keeps everything in harmony, like a well-rehearsed choir.

Add your ingredients to the shaker first, then ice. Fill it up to ¾ of its capacity to ensure enough space for shaking. Hold the shaker with both hands (one on the top and one on the bottom) and shake vigorously. The shake should come from your shoulders, not your wrists.

Place your chosen strainer on top of the shaker or mixing glass, ensuring a secure fit. Pour the cocktail into a glass through the strainer, which will catch solid ingredients and ice. If double straining, hold the fine mesh strainer between the shaker and the glass.
