FAQ's

Alcohol content comparison icon

How does the alcohol content of Jam compare to other cocktails?

The alcohol content of Jam, at 34%, is relatively high compared to many classic cocktails, which often range between 15% to 30% alcohol by volume. This makes it a strong choice, particularly considering it is served in a shot glass, indicating it's meant to be consumed quickly.

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I substitute a different type of whiskey in the Jam cocktail?

Yes, you can substitute the whiskey in Jam with another type of whiskey depending on your preference. Bourbon or Scotch could add a different profile to the drink. However, keep in mind that the change might slightly alter the intended flavor balance between the whiskey and amaretto.

Serving suggestions icon

What's the best way to serve the Jam cocktail for a gathering?

For a gathering, consider serving the Jam in small, chilled shot glasses pre-prepared on a tray. This allows guests to enjoy the cocktail's flavors without waiting for individual preparation. You might also accompany it with water or a palate cleanser given its strong flavor and alcohol content.

Food pairings icon

What food pairs well with the Jam cocktail?

Given the rich, sweet, and slightly nutty flavors of the Jam cocktail from the whiskey and amaretto, consider pairing it with desserts like almond biscotti or chocolate truffles. The cocktail's intensity also complements savory snacks like smoked almonds or cheese platters.

Preparation techniques icon

Is there a specific technique for combining the whiskey and amaretto in the Jam cocktail?

The Jam cocktail, being a simple mix, does not require shaking or stirring, aiming to preserve the purity of its ingredients. Simply pour the whiskey and amaretto directly into a shot glass, preferably in equal measures. The technique focuses on the direct blend of flavors without dilution.
