FAQ's
What is the best way to serve the Submarine cocktail?
The Submarine cocktail is best served in a shot glass. You should pour the coffee liqueur into the shot glass first, followed by the lager to create a layered effect. It's typically served cold, and because of its unique combination, it does not require shaking or stirring.
Can I use any type of coffee liqueur for the Submarine cocktail?
Yes, you can use any type of coffee liqueur for the Submarine cocktail. However, the taste may vary slightly depending on the brand or specific type of coffee liqueur you choose. Popular brands like Kahlúa or Tia Maria are commonly used and can impart a rich coffee flavor to your cocktail.
How does the alcohol content of the Submarine compare to other popular cocktails?
The Submarine cocktail has a relatively low alcohol content of 10%, which is on the lower end compared to many classic cocktails. For example, a typical Margarita has an alcohol content of around 15-20%, while a Martini can range from 25-30%. The Submarine offers a milder option for those seeking a less potent drink.
What occasions are best suited for serving the Submarine cocktail?
The Submarine cocktail, with its unique mix of coffee liqueur and lager, is well-suited for casual gatherings or as a novelty drink at parties. Its lower alcohol content and distinct flavor profile make it a great conversation starter or an interesting choice for an evening where guests are sampling different types of cocktails.
Do I need any special equipment to prepare a Submarine cocktail?
No special equipment is needed to prepare a Submarine cocktail. All you need is a shot glass to serve it in. Since the drink is neither shaken nor stirred, you can simply pour the ingredients directly into the glass. For a neat layering effect, pour the coffee liqueur first, then slowly add the lager.
