What is a Walk Me Down Drink?

A Walk Me Down Drink is a drink that you would want to order if you were at a bar and you needed to get drunk. It’s for when you want to go home with someone but don’t want to go home alone.

What is a walk me down made of?

1/2 ounce vodka
1/2 ounce rum
1/2 ounce gin
1/2 ounce tequila
1/2 ounce blue curaçao
1 ounce sweet and sour mix
2 ounces lemon-lime soda
Ice cubes
Lemon or lime wedge (for garnish, optional)

How do you make a walk me down drink?

Gather all the ingredients and ensure you have the necessary measurements. It’s essential to measure the ingredients accurately to maintain the perfect balance of flavors in your Walk Me Down cocktail.
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. The amount of ice will depend on how many servings you want to make. If you don’t have a shaker, a tall glass can work as well.
Pour the vodka, rum, gin, tequila, blue curaçao, and sweet and sour mix into the cocktail shaker or glass with ice. These spirits will come together to create a unique and flavorful blend.
Secure the cocktail shaker lid tightly or use a spoon to stir the ingredients in the glass. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds or stir well to ensure all the flavors mix together.
Prepare a highball glass or any tall glass by filling it with ice cubes. This will keep your drink cold and refreshing.
Strain the contents of the cocktail shaker into the prepared glass. The strainer will help separate the drink from the ice and any fruit bits that may have been mixed in during shaking.
Slowly pour the lemon-lime soda into the glass. The soda adds a fizzy and bubbly element to the drink, making it even more enjoyable.
Give the drink a gentle stir to incorporate the soda with the other ingredients. You want all the flavors to blend harmoniously.
Now, it’s time to enjoy your Walk Me Down drink! Take a sip, and let the combination of spirits, sweet and sour mix, and soda take your taste buds on a flavorful journey.

Tips

Remember, the Walk Me Down cocktail contains multiple types of alcohol, so it’s strictly for those of legal drinking age. Always drink responsibly and know your limits.
If you prefer a milder version of the drink, you can reduce the amount of alcohol by using 1/4 ounce of each spirit instead of 1/2 ounce.
Feel free to adjust the sweetness or tartness by adding more or less sweet and sour mix according to your taste preferences.
If you don’t have blue curaçao, you can substitute it with orange liqueur or blueberry syrup for a similar vibrant color.
For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the alcohol and increase the amount of sweet and sour mix and lemon-lime soda accordingly. You can also experiment with adding fruit juices like orange or pineapple for extra flavor.
If you don’t have a cocktail shaker, use a mason jar with a tight-fitting lid or any container with a secure lid to shake the ingredients. Ensure it’s large enough to accommodate the drink and ice without overflowing.

Lemon or Lime Wedge

A classic garnish for many cocktails, a lemon or lime wedge adds a pop of color and a citrusy aroma to your Walk Me Down drink. Simply slice a lemon or lime into thin wedges and place one on the rim of the glass. Squeezing a bit of juice from the wedge into your drink can also enhance the tartness and freshness.

Maraschino Cherry

Add a vibrant and sweet touch to your Walk Me Down drink with a maraschino cherry. These cherries have a bright red color and a deliciously sweet flavor. Drop one into your drink or skewer it on a cocktail pick for an attractive garnish.

Gently clap the mint leaves between your hands to release their fragrance and place the twig on top of the drink. You can also lightly muddle the mint leaves in the bottom of the glass before adding the other ingredients for an extra burst of mint flavor.

Edible Flowers

If you want to make your Walk Me Down drink visually stunning, consider garnishing it with edible flowers. Options like pansies, violets, or nasturtiums can bring a touch of elegance and beauty to your cocktail. Make sure the flowers are pesticide-free and suitable for consumption.
