FAQ's
![INGREDIENT_SUBSTITUTIONS](https://makemeacocktail.com/img/faq-icons/ingredient_swap.avif)
Can I substitute the coffee liqueur in The Destroyer with something non-alcoholic?
Yes, you can substitute the coffee liqueur with a non-alcoholic coffee syrup or a strong brewed coffee that's cooled down. Keep in mind that this will alter the alcohol content and flavor profile of the cocktail.
![GARNISHING_TIPS](https://makemeacocktail.com/img/faq-icons/garnishing.avif)
What are some alternative garnishes I can use for The Destroyer to enhance its presentation?
Instead of the classic lime wedge, consider garnishing The Destroyer with a twist of orange peel to add a citrus aroma, or a few coffee beans to highlight the coffee liqueur component.

Is The Destroyer best served as an aperitif or a digestif?

How does the alcohol content of The Destroyer compare to a standard cocktail?
The Destroyer, with an alcohol content of 32%, is significantly stronger than many standard cocktails, which typically range between 10% and 20% alcohol by volume. It's a potent drink, meant to be sipped slowly.
![PREPARATION_TECHNIQUES](https://makemeacocktail.com/img/faq-icons/preparation.avif)
