FAQ's
![SERVING_SUGGESTIONS](https://makemeacocktail.com/img/faq-icons/serving.avif)
What type of glass is recommended for serving the Big Boy cocktail?
The Big Boy cocktail is best served in a Highball glass, which allows for the proper proportion of the mixed drink and ice, if desired, enhancing the drinking experience.
![INGREDIENT_SUBSTITUTIONS](https://makemeacocktail.com/img/faq-icons/ingredient_swap.avif)
Can I substitute Milk with a non-dairy alternative in the Big Boy cocktail?
Yes, you can substitute milk with a non-dairy alternative like almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk in the Big Boy cocktail. These alternatives may slightly alter the taste and texture but will make the drink suitable for vegans or those with lactose intolerance.
![ALCOHOL_CONTENT_COMPARISON](https://makemeacocktail.com/img/faq-icons/alcohol_comparison.avif)
How does the alcohol content in the Big Boy cocktail compare to other classic cocktails?
The Big Boy cocktail has an alcohol content of 11.5%, which places it on the lower side of the spectrum when compared to classic cocktails like the Margarita (around 40%) or Manhattan (around 30%). It's a milder option, suitable for those who prefer a less potent drink.
![PREPARATION_TECHNIQUES](https://makemeacocktail.com/img/faq-icons/preparation.avif)
Is the Big Boy cocktail shaken or stirred?
The Big Boy cocktail is stirred, not shaken. Stirring gently combines the ingredients without diluting the drink as much as shaking would, maintaining the rich textures of the creamy and liqueur components.
![DIETARY_CONSIDERATIONS](https://makemeacocktail.com/img/faq-icons/dietary.avif)
Is the Big Boy cocktail gluten-free?
The Big Boy cocktail's gluten-free status depends on the specific brands of Bailey's, White rum, Frangelico, and Creme De Cacao used, as some may contain gluten or be cross-contaminated. It's advisable to check with the individual manufacturers if you need a gluten-free option.
