FAQ's

INGREDIENT_SUBSTITUTIONS

Can I substitute the aniseed liqueur in a Jellybean cocktail?

GARNISHING_TIPS

What are some garnishing ideas for a Jellybean cocktail?

A Jellybean cocktail can be garnished with a few actual jellybeans added into the drink or placed on the rim of the glass for a playful touch. Additionally, a twist of orange or lemon peel could add a nice aromatic component without overpowering the drink.

SERVING_SUGGESTIONS

ALCOHOL_CONTENT_COMPARISON
