FAQ's

Preparation techniques icon

Why is the Bullet Breaker stirred and not shaken?

The Bullet Breaker is stirred instead of shaken to preserve the clarity and texture of the drink. Stirring gently combines the cola, amaretto, and bourbon without introducing excess air, resulting in a smoother, more cohesive cocktail.

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I use a different type of whiskey in the Bullet Breaker?

Yes, you can substitute bourbon with another type of whiskey, such as rye, if you prefer a spicier note in your Bullet Breaker. The primary characteristic to maintain is the whiskey's robust flavor to balance the sweetness of the amaretto and cola.

Serving suggestions icon

What is the best way to serve a Bullet Breaker?

A Bullet Breaker is best served in a lowball glass over ice to keep it cold without diluting its strong flavors too quickly. Serve it with a stirrer to allow your guests to mix the drink further if desired.

Food pairings icon

What food pairs well with the Bullet Breaker?

The richness of bourbon and the sweetness of amaretto in the Bullet Breaker make it a great companion to savory barbecue dishes, smoked meats, or rich, creamy desserts like cheesecake or crème brûlée.

Customization ideas icon

How can I adjust the Bullet Breaker to fit my taste?

To adjust the Bullet Breaker to your taste, experiment with the ratios of the ingredients. For a sweeter drink, add more cola or amaretto. If you prefer it stronger, increase the amount of bourbon. You can also add a squeeze of lemon or lime to introduce a citrusy kick.
