FAQ's
How does the alcohol content of the Broadside compare to other cocktails?
The Broadside has an alcohol content of 15.82%, which places it on the higher end compared to many classic cocktails. For example, a Margarita typically has an alcohol content around 13-15%, making the Broadside slightly stronger. This is due to its combination of multiple spirits like brandy, vodka, gin, whiskey, and Drambuie.
Why is the Broadside stirred and not shaken?
The Broadside is stirred and not shaken to ensure a smooth blend of its ingredients without diluting the drink too much. Stirring is a gentler method of mixing that combines the spirits evenly while retaining their distinct flavors and clarity, which is particularly important given the mix of high-proof ingredients in this cocktail.
What is the best way to serve the Broadside?
The best way to serve the Broadside is in a pint glass, as specified, allowing enough space for all the ingredients, including the substantial amount of lemonade. It should be served cold, with ice cubes if preferred, to enhance its refreshing qualities. Garnishing with a lemon slice can add a pleasant aesthetic and aromatic touch.
Are there any suitable substitutions for Drambuie in the Broadside?
If Drambuie is not available, a good substitution could be another herbal liqueur or a honeyed whiskey to mimic the sweet, spiced complexity of Drambuie. However, the unique flavor profile of Drambuie is hard to replicate exactly, so expect a slight difference in taste.
What occasions are best suited for serving the Broadside?
Given its strong, potent mix and unique blend of spirits, the Broadside is best suited for occasions where a bold, striking drink is desired, such as a themed party or a gathering among spirit enthusiasts. Its high alcohol content and distinct flavor profile make it a conversation starter and an option for more adventurous palates.
