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.
