FAQ's
Can I substitute a different type of cream for the cream in a Dirty Mother cocktail?

What occasions are most suitable for serving a Dirty Mother cocktail?
A Dirty Mother cocktail, with its rich and bold flavors from coffee liqueur and tequila, is most suitable for evening gatherings or after-dinner drinks. Its robust profile makes it a great choice for cocktail parties, adult celebrations, or as a sophisticated end to a dinner party.
Should the ingredients of a Dirty Mother cocktail be shaken or stirred?
The ingredients of a Dirty Mother cocktail should be shaken, not stirred. Shaking the ingredients with ice before serving ensures that the cocktail is well chilled and that the cream is fully integrated with the coffee liqueur and tequila, resulting in a smoother and more cohesive drink.
