Neutron Bomb
Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.89 / 5
The Neutron Bomb cocktail is a rich and creamy concoction that combines the smooth texture of Bailey's Irish Cream with the deep, roasted flavors of coffee liqueur, topped off with a fizzy splash of cola to add a hint of sweetness and carbonation. Typically served in a shot glass, this drink offers a layered taste experience that begins with the familiar comfort of cream liqueur and transitions into the complex bitterness of coffee, all balanced by the sugary cola. Its flavor profile is suited for those who enjoy their beverages on the sweeter side with a notable caffeine kick reminiscent of a boozy, carbonated coffee.
