Mad CowCocktail recipe
Rating
The Mad Cow is an indulgent cocktail that unites the creamy tones of Baileys Irish Cream with the rich depth of coffee liqueur and the nutty whispers of Frangelico. Enhanced with the clean taste of vodka and the smoothness of milk, this drink offers a luxurious texture and complex flavor profile.
Served in a distinctively curved hurricane glass, the visual appeal is further heightened by a playful drizzle of chocolate syrup, though traditional recipes do not top it with whipped cream. The Mad Cow presents itself as a dessert-like beverage, perfect for those who enjoy a sweet, creamy cocktail with a kick, and it's typically enjoyed as an after-dinner treat or at gatherings where a touch of decadence is sought.
