Zippy’s Revenge Cocktail
The Zippy’s Revenge cocktail is a very unusual shaken drink distinguished by the use of grape-flavoured powdered drink mix. Intended to be sweet and instantly recognisable, it is frequently chosen for its novelty, convenience of preparation and ability to provide a distinct, fruit-forward taste.

Tips & Suggestions
Preparation Tip 1
Shake vigorously in multiple directions (up-down, side-to-side, circular) for 15-20 seconds to enable complete dissolving of the powdered mixture.
Preparation Tip 2
Turn pure, unsweetened grape juice into ice cubes; use these as shaking ice and in the serving glass to elevate grape flavour without additional sweetness.
