Cocktail recipe

3.99 / 5
A Bit Of Bully is a rich and indulgent cocktail that combines the flavors of chocolate, nuts, and cream with a touch of cognac for a sophisticated twist. This cocktail originated in England and gets its name from the classic dessert, Bananas Foster. The creamy and smooth texture from the Bailey's, cream, and chocolate ice cream, perfectly complements the sweetness from the Amaretto and Creme De Cacao. The addition of cognac adds depth and a warm, boozy kick to the drink. Served in a chilled glass, A Bit Of Bully is a perfect after-dinner drink or a decadent treat on a hot summer day.

FAQ's

Serving suggestions icon

What is the recommended way to serve 'A Bit Of Bully'?

The recommended way to serve 'A Bit Of Bully' is in a highball glass, ideally with the cocktail being cold. It is not shaken or stirred, which suggests the ingredients should be carefully layered or mixed gently in the glass to maintain their distinct flavors.

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I substitute any ingredients in 'A Bit Of Bully' if I don't have them all?

Yes, you can make some substitutions. For example, if you don't have Bailey's, you might use another brand of Irish cream. Similarly, another type of almond liqueur could replace Amaretto. If you don't have chocolate ice cream, chocolate syrup mixed with vanilla ice cream could offer a similar flavor profile, though the texture might differ slightly.

Preparation techniques icon

How do I properly prepare 'A Bit Of Bully' without shaking or stirring?

To prepare 'A Bit Of Bully' without shaking or stirring, start by adding ice to your highball glass to chill it. Then, carefully pour in the Bailey's, Amaretto, Cream, Cognac, and Creme De Cacao, in that order. Finally, top with a scoop of chocolate ice cream. The layering of ingredients will help maintain their individual flavors.

Alcohol content comparison icon

How does the alcohol content in 'A Bit Of Bully' compare to that in a standard cocktail?

'A Bit Of Bully' has an alcohol content of 9.91%, which is slightly lower than many standard cocktails. Typically, cocktails range from 10% to 20% alcohol by volume (ABV), depending on the types and amounts of spirits used. This makes 'A Bit Of Bully' a moderately strong drink.

Customization ideas icon

Are there any interesting ways I can customize 'A Bit Of Bully'?

Certainly! For a twist, you might add a pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg to the cocktail to enhance its dessert-like qualities.

For a less sweet version, reduce the cream and substitute with a splash of cold coffee or espresso.
