Virgin Woo Woo Mocktail (Non-Alcoholic)
So that non-drinkers can enjoy a Woo Woo Mocktail, we simply remove the alcohol and replace it!
- Follow the recipe card, but omit the alcohol and replace it with additional cranberry juice or a blend of cranberry and peach juices. Adjust the quantities according to taste.
- Enhance the mocktail version with a splash of lime juice for a refreshing twist.
Woo Woo Mocktails (Non-Alcoholic Spirits)
For adults who would still like to enjoy the taste of alcohol in their mocktail, you could try non-alcoholic alternatives.
In the UK, try Lyre’s, which is also available on Amazon in the UK and Amazon.com.
Other brands include Strykk (UK) and Ritual (US & Canada). Non-alcoholic spirits are a growing trend, so be on the lookout in your local stores and online.
- Instead of Vodka, use Strykk Not Vodka.
- Instead of Peach Schnapps, use Peach Syrup.
Follow the recipe card using the non-alcoholic alternatives listed above instead of the alcoholic ones.
Frozen Woo Woos
Want to turn this cocktail into a frozen slushie? Here’s how!
Put all the ingredients in a blender with a generous amount of ice – then blend till smooth.
Serve with a straw, and watch out for brain freeze!
You can do the same with the mocktail version too.
Twisted Woo Woo
- Spicy Woo Woo: Add a dash of hot sauce or muddled jalapeños for a spicy kick that contrasts with the fruity flavors.
- Tropical Woo Woo: Replace the cranberry juice with pineapple or passion fruit juice for a tropical twist.
Big Batch Woo Woo Cocktail
Want to make a big batch of Woo Woos for a party or gathering? It’s easy – here’s how!
As long as you use the same measuring container (glass, cup, jug, etc.) for the “1 part”, the ratios will be correct, and you can make as much as you need to.
To make Woo Woos for a crowd, mix together:
- 2 parts Vodka
- 1 part Peach Schnapps
- 2 parts cranberry juice
- 2 parts club soda
- Lime juice – to taste
Serve the large batch cocktail in drinks dispensers or pitchers, or go retro and serve from a punch bowl! Use whichever container you have or suits the event you are hosting.
Make sure to add plenty of ice to your serving container of choice to keep the cocktail chilled.
Saving Leftovers!
While it’s best to enjoy the cocktail fresh to savor its flavors, you may end up with some left at the end of your party—don’t let it go to waste!
- Transfer it to an airtight pitcher or container in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. Note that the carbonation from the club soda may diminish over time.
- Or, to make it last longer, turn it into Woo Woo Granita!
- Granita is a semi-frozen dessert made from sugar, water, and various flavorings. Originally from Sicily.
- Transfer the cocktail to a shallow freezer-safe container and place it in the freezer for 6 hours (or overnight).
- Use a fork to break the frozen cocktail into small pieces. Serve and enjoy!
