How Gay Is Your Cocktail?
.jpg)
Every cocktail is rated from "Super Straight" to "Absolutely Fabulous." But how do we decide?
Here’s a peek at our playful criteria, designed to capture the essence of each drink's gay appeal:
Sweetness: How sweet is it? Sweeter cocktails often charm a broader audience, tickling the taste buds with their sugary allure.
Color: A splash of color goes a long way! Vibrant cocktails score higher for their eye-catching hues that brighten any table.
Popularity: Is it a crowd-pleaser? We look at how beloved and requested each concoction is across gay and mainstream venues alike.
Complexity: More ingredients, more fun? We rate the craft involved in mixing each cocktail, from simple classics to intricate new-age mixes.
Alcohol Preference: What’s your spirit? Cocktails are scored on the type of alcohol they feature, enhancing their unique character.
Visual Appeal: It’s all about the presentation. A well-garnished drink that looks as good as it tastes always scores extra points.
Festivity Score: Are you ready for a party? We gauge each drink's suitability for festive occasions, which is crucial for any celebratory cheer.
Name Flair: A name that sticks makes all the difference. We love cocktail names that are catchy, themed, or downright delightful.
Each cocktail's total score* determines its place in our spectrum, capturing everything from the understated elegance to the outright extravagant. The simplified scores are:
Absolutely Fabulous: 5/5
Sassy, not Flashy: 4/5
Ritzy Reble: 3/5
Elegantly Cultured: 2/5
Super Straight: 1/5
Just remember, it’s all in good spirits!
