How do you properly shake the 'On The Floor' cocktail?
To properly shake 'On The Floor', fill a shaker with ice and add 30ml of coffee liqueur and 30ml of whiskey. Secure the lid or shaker top and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This ensures the mixture is well-chilled and slightly diluted, enhancing its flavors.
What is the best way to serve the 'On The Floor' cocktail?

If you're looking to substitute whiskey in 'On The Floor,' consider using a dark rum or brandy for a different twist. Both alternatives provide a rich depth of flavor that complements the coffee liqueur well, while offering a unique taste profile.
What type of coffee liqueur is best for the 'On The Floor' cocktail?
