FAQ's

Ingredient substitutions icon

Garnishing tips icon

What are some creative garnishing ideas for the M.I.T. cocktail?

Serving suggestions icon

What is the ideal way to serve the M.I.T. cocktail to enhance its flavors?

The M.I.T. cocktail is best served cold in a pint glass. Adding ice to the glass before pouring in the mixed ingredients helps to keep the drink chilled and dilutes it slightly for a smoother taste. Stirring gently before serving ensures all the flavors are well blended.
