About this drink
The Woo Woo appeared in the 1980s as one of the sweet, easy-drinking cocktails that filled disco bars. It is a close cousin of Sex on the Beach, minus the orange juice, and has held on as a quick favourite thanks to its simple, foolproof recipe. Its colour and taste make it a classic first cocktail for newcomers.
