FAQ's
What can I use instead of Blue Curaçao if I can't find it?
If Blue Curaçao is unavailable, you can substitute it with Triple Sec or any orange-flavored liqueur. To maintain the color, you can add a drop of blue food coloring to the substitute.
What is the best way to serve The Reptilian to accentuate its flavors?
The Reptilian is best served cold in a pint glass. Ensure all ingredients are well chilled before mixing. Stirring the cocktail instead of shaking it helps to maintain the clarity and integrity of the layered flavors. Serve immediately after preparing.
Why is The Reptilian stirred and not shaken?
The Reptilian is stirred and not shaken to prevent excessive dilution and to maintain the subtle layering of its diverse flavors. Stirring gently combines the ingredients while preserving the drink's intended strength and texture.
