FAQ's

Preparation techniques icon

Why is the Menge cocktail stirred and not shaken?

The Menge cocktail is stirred and not shaken to preserve the clarity and smoothness of the drink.

Can I substitute the whiskey in the Menge cocktail with another spirit?

Yes, you can substitute the whiskey in the Menge cocktail with another dark spirit of your preference. Bourbon or dark rum could be good alternatives, offering a similar depth and complexity to the cocktail. However, remember that each spirit has its unique flavor profile, which will slightly alter the final taste of the drink.

What is the best way to serve the Menge cocktail?

The best way to serve the Menge cocktail is in a lowball glass, over a large ice cube or sphere. This ensures that the drink stays cold while diluting minimally, maintaining its robust flavor. Garnishing with a twist of orange peel or a maraschino cherry can add an aromatic finishing touch.
