Hot Tub

The story

The Hot Tub cocktail is a modern creation, gaining popularity in the early 2000s as a refreshing, fruity drink. It combines vodka with pineapple juice and raspberry liqueur, appealing to those who enjoy sweet and bubbly cocktails. Its name evokes a sense of relaxation and leisure, making it a popular choice for summer gatherings and parties.

How it tastes

The Hot Tub offers a vibrant mix of sweet pineapple and tart raspberry, balanced by the smoothness of vodka. The addition of Prosecco adds a sparkling finish, making it a light and refreshing option for warm weather or festive occasions.

Getting it right

The key to a successful Hot Tub is in the shaking technique. Ensure the first three ingredients are well-chilled and shaken with ice to achieve a smooth texture. Fine straining into the coupe glass prevents pulp or ice shards from affecting the drink's clarity and presentation.

Variations

• Frozen Hot Tub — Blend the ingredients with ice for a slushy version, perfect for hot summer days.
• Tropical Hot Tub — Substitute coconut rum for vodka to create a tropical twist.

Substitutions

• Giffard Framboise de Ronce — Use another raspberry liqueur like Chambord if Giffard is unavailable.
• Prosecco — Any dry sparkling wine can work, such as Cava or Champagne.
