About this recipe

A bold, brash drink that’s not to everyone’s tastes, this vodka-fruit flavour carrier can be a surprising hit with guests – as long as it’s made as we outline it here. Arising from a desire by bartenders in the late 70s to turn their back on the whole weighty tradition of Manhattans, Slings and Sazeracs, the Woo Woo is a simple, showy cocktail that has balanced sweet and sour fruit flavours – peach and cranberry – on a base of delicious vodka. The Woo Woo is very much of its time – that brief period when daft cocktail names were not even an option, but a necessity. We had Sex on the Beach, Fuzzy Navel (switch out the cranberry juice for orange juice, remove vodka from your Woo Woo) and Mudslide, all cult classics that some bartenders are celebrating once again. And there are occasions when the Woo Woo cocktail really hits the mark – at barbecues, house parties, housewarming events, and those fun times with friends. Plus it’s simple to make: there’s no shaking, no straining, just a little stirring, and even that’s optional. Some serve the Woo Woo cocktail in an Old Fashioned glass or tumbler, but a highball seems to fit the nature of this drink. It was probably created by bartenders on the West Coast, but no one really knows for sure. Perhaps they’re scared to own up to inventing it, but they shouldn’t be – the Woo Woo cocktail is a fun, bold mix.
