Learn everything on which Vodka to choose

Vodka

Vodka is the canvas of our cocktail, providing a clean, neutral base that allows the flavors of the other ingredients to shine. Using 1.5 oz strikes a balance that offers potency without overpowering. Too much, and you'd be walking in a tipsy lasso of truth; too little, and Wonder Woman might fly away unnoticed.

Emma Rose

Cranberry Juice

Cranberry juice adds a sharp and slightly sweet edge, giving our cocktail its vibrant, ruby hue resembling Wonder Woman's armor. 3 oz makes it the dominant flavor, so any more might turn the drink into the Crimson Tide, less, and it's just a blushing sidekick.

Orange Juice

Nothing says 'golden lasso' like the golden color of orange juice. It brings citrus sweetness and brightness, and 1 oz is enough to balance the tartness of the cranberry without turning the drink into a breakfast beverage. If it's not included, you miss out on the 'truth' of the flavor combo.

Alex Green

Grenadine

The magic lasso of our cocktail, 0.5 oz of Grenadine sweetens the potion and creates a layered sunset effect. Miss out on it, and you lose the sweet touch that unifies the flavors. It's like having a Wonder Woman without her iconic lasso.

Emma Rose

Lemon

A slice of lemon is not just a garnish; it's an aromatic invitation to taste. As finishing touch, it rounds out the sharpness and adds a zesty pop on the nose. No lemon? Then you might not get that refreshing aroma that says, 'Welcome to Themyscira.'

Alternatives: If you wish to experiment, try flavored vodka to add a twist, like raspberry or vanilla. Use pomegranate juice instead of cranberry for a deeper mythological spin, or add a splash of soda for some effervescence.

And of course - twists🍹

Amazonian Ambrosia

  • 1.5 oz Lychee liqueur
  • 3 oz White grape juice
  • 1 oz Pineapple juice
  • 0.5 oz Blue Curacao
  • Lemon twist Substitute vodka and cranberry juice with lychee liqueur and white grape juice for a more mythical taste reminiscent of the ambrosia of the gods. Pineapple juice adds tropical flair, and Blue Curacao gives it a magical, azure glow. The lemon twist ensures a citrus aroma that lingers like the memory of an Amazonian victory. This drink should feel like a tantalizing elixir from Paradise Island itself.

Warrior's Punch

  • 1.5 oz Mezcal
  • 3 oz Pomegranate juice
  • 1 oz Lime juice
  • 0.5 oz Agave syrup
  • Lime wheel for garnish Switching to mezcal adds a smoky edge, representing the warrior spirit. Pomegranate juice nods to ancient mythology, lime juice offers an even sharper tang than orange, and agave syrup keeps the sweetness in check. Perfect for when you're training in the ways of the Amazons.

Invisible Jet Cocktail

  • 1.5 oz Gin
  • 3 oz Tonic water
  • 1 oz Lemon juice
  • 0.5 oz Simple syrup
  • A sprig of mint This concoction takes on a clearer appearance, just like Wonder Woman's Invisible Jet. Gin brings botanicals into play, while tonic water adds a bubbly lift. Lemon juice and simple syrup keep the sweet-tart dynamic, with mint as a fresh garnish. It's refreshingly stealthy and perfect for a sophisticated night out.

In case you forgot basics how to make Wonder Woman

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.

Learn everything on how to shake

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.

Garnishing a bar drink depends on the type of garnish and the cocktail. Generally, it involves preparing the garnish (like cutting a citrus wheel or picking a sprig of mint), and then adding it to the drink in a visually appealing way (like perching it on the rim or floating it on top).
