Cocktail Colin says:
Runny Konk introduces Bailey’s creamy softness to vodka's sharp edge and vermouth’s aromatic mosaic. A notable blend for the adventurous palate, wading through a textured layering of contrasting sweetness and spice.

FAQ's
Why is the Runny Konk stirred instead of shaken?
The Runny Konk is stirred instead of shaken to preserve the smoothness of its heavy ingredients, like Bailey's, and to provide a clear, undiluted appearance and texture that doesn't aerate the mixture as shaking would. Stirring gently integrates the ingredients while maintaining the cocktail's intended density and flavor profile.
Can I use a different type of vermouth instead of red vermouth in the Runny Konk?
Yes, you can use a different type of vermouth in the Runny Konk; however, it will change the flavor profile. Red vermouth is sweet and has a unique flavor that complements the creamy Bailey's and the sharpness of the vodka. If you substitute it with dry or white vermouth, expect a drier, less sweet cocktail. Adjust according to your taste preference.
What kind of garnish works well with the Runny Konk?
Given its unique combination of ingredients, a simple, elegant garnish like a twist of orange peel or a cherry can complement the Runny Konk. These garnishes could add a subtle aroma and a hint of flavor that doesn't overpower the drink's existing components.
How does the alcohol content of the Runny Konk compare to a standard cocktail?
The Runny Konk has an alcohol content of 24.33%, which is relatively high compared to many standard cocktails that usually hover around 15% to 20% alcohol by volume. Its equal parts of Bailey's, vodka, and red vermouth contribute to this stronger potency.
Are there non-alcoholic substitutions that can mimic the flavors of the Runny Konk?
To create a non-alcoholic version of the Runny Konk, you can use non-alcoholic substitutes for Bailey's and vodka, such as almond milk creamer for Bailey's and a non-alcoholic distilled spirit or seedlip for vodka. For the red vermouth, opting for a sweetened, non-alcoholic aperitif or grape juice could work. These substitutions aim to mimic the creamy, sweet, and slightly bitter profile of the original cocktail.
