A Venom is a cocktail made with Orange juice, WKD Blue, Southern Comfort, and vodka, and is typically served in a pint glass with ice. The drink is typically associated with Scotland and its nightlife scene.
History
The drink was, supposedly, first created in 2008, by Glaswegian DJ and cocktail expert, Ross McGregor.[1]
In 2018, controversial English energy drink company, Dragon Soop, announced that they were releasing a Venom flavour of their alcoholic energy drink.[2]
Preparation
The drink is typically prepared in a pint glass, mixing one part vodka, one part Southern Comfort, a bottle of WKD Blue, and Orange Juice, mixed together until the drink is a luminous green.[3] Ice is optional.
