FAQ's
What makes Amarula Cream a unique ingredient in the Springbok cocktail?
Amarula Cream is a South African liqueur made from the fruit of the Amarula tree. It has a rich and creamy texture with a slightly fruity, caramel flavor which pairs well with the minty freshness of Creme De Menthe. This combination gives the Springbok its distinctive taste and creamy consistency.
Is there a specific way to layer the ingredients in a Springbok for best presentation?
Yes, to achieve the characteristic layered effect of the Springbok, pour the Creme De Menthe into the shot glass first, then gently pour the Amarula Cream over the back of a spoon so it floats on top of the Creme De Menthe, creating two distinct layers.
What occasions are most suitable for serving the Springbok cocktail?
The Springbok is particularly popular during sports events, especially rugby games, due to its name sharing with the South African national rugby team, the Springboks. It's also a great choice for celebrations, themed parties, or any gathering where a visually striking and unique shot is desired.
How does the alcohol content of the Springbok compare to other popular shots?
With an alcohol content of 16%, the Springbok is relatively moderate when compared to other common shots like the Tequila shot (around 40% alcohol) or the Jägerbomb. It offers a lighter option that's flavorful but not overwhelming, making it suitable for a wider range of drinkers.
Is there a non-alcoholic version of the Springbok and how is it made?
Yes, to make a non-alcoholic version of the Springbok, you can use non-alcoholic mint syrup in place of Creme De Menthe and a dairy or non-dairy cream with a hint of vanilla flavor for the Amarula Cream. This variation maintains the visual appeal and creamy texture without the alcohol content.
