FAQ's

Serving suggestions icon

What is the best way to serve a Cougar In The Car cocktail?

The best way to serve a Cougar In The Car cocktail is in a highball glass, ideally cold. You can chill the glass beforehand to enhance the experience. Pour the Sambuca and Jagermeister over ice, then top with a dash of cola for the perfect serve.

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I substitute any ingredients in the Cougar In The Car cocktail without changing its character?

Yes, you can make some substitutions without losing the essence of the Cougar In The Car. If you're out of Sambuca, a similar anise-flavored liqueur like aniseed or star anise-infused vodka could work. For Jagermeister, try using another herb-based bitter if needed, though the unique flavor profile might slightly change.

Customization ideas icon

Are there any popular variations of the Cougar In The Car cocktail?

While the Cougar In The Car is quite unique, a popular variation might involve adjusting the ratios of Sambuca and Jagermeister or adding other components like a splash of lime juice or garnishing with a lime wedge for a citrusy twist. Experimenting with different types of cola can also offer variations in flavor.
