A-bomb
Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.53 / 5
The A-bomb cocktail is a potent and indulgent drink that packs a flavorful punch. Its name is representative of both its strong taste and the powerful combination of its ingredients. This cocktail typically contains a mix of Bailey's, coffee liqueur, and vodka, creating a rich and creamy base with a touch of caffeine. The use of two types of coffee liqueur adds an extra depth of flavor to the A-bomb, giving it a bold and robust taste. The combination of these ingredients creates a rich flavor profile with hints of chocolate, coffee, and a smooth finish from the creamy Bailey's. The A-bomb is a perfect choice for coffee lovers or anyone in need of a strong and satisfying drink.
