Fruity Sweet

El Affair es un highball afrutado y ligeramente efervescente que combina el sabor dulce a fresa del schnapps con jugo de naranja y jugo de arándano, terminado con un toque de agua de soda para un levantamiento refrescante. A solo 5.06% ABV, es un cóctel ligero y accesible con una vibrante combinación de frutas.

History & Origins

The Affair is a modern bar creation with disputed origins, typical of the fruit schnapps and juice cocktails that became popular in American bars during the 1980s and 1990s. The use of strawberry schnapps, orange juice, and cranberry juice reflects the era's preference for sweet, accessible cocktails with bright fruit flavors. No single credited inventor or definitive origin point has been established for this drink.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Bright strawberry and fresh orange, with a hint of cranberry tartness. Palate: Sweet and fruity from the strawberry schnapps, balanced by the natural acidity of the orange and cranberry juices; the club soda adds a light, clean effervescence. Finish: Short and refreshing, with a lingering berry sweetness.

Pro Tip

Pour the schnapps and juices over ice first, then add the club soda gently at the end to preserve its carbonation.
