FAQ's
Can I use a different type of coffee liqueur in a Colorado Bulldog?

What is the best way to serve a Colorado Bulldog?
The Colorado Bulldog is best served in a lowball glass over ice. Make sure to pour the cream over the back of a spoon last to achieve a layered effect before serving. It's an excellent choice for a dessert drink or a unique twist to cap off a meal.
Is it necessary to mix the ingredients of a Colorado Bulldog before adding the cream?
While the Colorado Bulldog isn't traditionally shaken or stirred, gently mixing the coffee liqueur, vodka, and cola with ice before topping it off with cream can help integrate the flavors. However, adding the cream without mixing creates a visually appealing layer.
Is there a non-alcoholic version of the Colorado Bulldog?
Yes, for a non-alcoholic Colorado Bulldog, you can replace the vodka and coffee liqueur with their non-alcoholic counterparts and use cream and cola as usual. It maintains the flavor profile while being suitable for those avoiding alcohol.
How does the alcohol content of a Colorado Bulldog compare to other creamy cocktails?
With an alcohol content of 5.14%, the Colorado Bulldog is relatively moderate compared to other creamy cocktails, such as the White Russian, which tends to have a higher alcohol content due to similar ingredients but in different proportions. This makes it a lighter, more accessible option for those who enjoy creamy cocktails but prefer something less potent.
