FAQ's

Preparation techniques icon

Why is the Heat cocktail stirred and not shaken?

The Heat cocktail is stirred instead of shaken to ensure a smooth blend of its ingredients without overly diluting the mixture with ice. Stirring is often preferred for cocktails that are spirit-forward and don't include ingredients that need vigorous mixing to combine, such as cream or egg whites. This method helps to maintain the potent flavor profile of the Heat cocktail.

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I substitute the white rum in the Heat cocktail with another type of rum?

Yes, you can substitute white rum with another type of rum, such as dark rum or spiced rum, depending on your preference. Keep in mind that substituting the rum type may alter the flavor profile of the cocktail. Dark rum will give a richer, more molasses-like taste, while spiced rum will add a nuanced layer of spice to the drink.

Serving suggestions icon

What is the best way to serve the Heat cocktail?

The Heat cocktail is best served in a highball glass filled with ice to ensure it stays cold and refreshing. Garnish with a lemon twist or a slice of lemon to enhance the visual appeal and add a zesty aroma that complements the drink's citrus notes.

How does the alcohol content of the Heat cocktail compare to a standard cocktail?

With an alcohol content of 23.68%, the Heat cocktail has a higher alcohol volume than many standard cocktails, which typically range between 10% to 20% alcohol by volume (ABV). This makes the Heat a stronger drink, ideal for those who prefer a more potent cocktail experience.
