FAQ's

ORIGINS_HISTORY

What is the origin of the name 'Tiger’s Milk' for this cocktail?

The name 'Tiger’s Milk' for this cocktail may not directly relate to its ingredients but could draw inspiration from its strength and uniqueness. Traditionally, 'Tiger’s Milk' refers to the Peruvian term 'leche de tigre,' a citrus-based marinade used in ceviche dishes, known for its powerful, invigorating qualities. Similarly, the cocktail might offer a bold and robust flavor profile, providing a 'strong' drinking experience.

NON_ALCOHOLIC_VARIATIONS

Can I make Tiger’s Milk without alcohol for a non-alcoholic version?

Yes, you can make a non-alcoholic version of Tiger’s Milk by substituting the cognac with a non-alcoholic spirit or a combination of more milk and a bit of a rich tea to mimic the depth of flavor. The key is to balance the creaminess with the spices and vanilla essence to retain its characteristic taste.

PREPARATION_TECHNIQUES

What's the best way to store ingredients for Tiger's Milk to maintain freshness?

To ensure freshness, store your milk, cream, and egg in the refrigerator. Cognac and vanilla essence should be kept in a cool, dark place like a pantry. The sugar syrup, once made, should also be refrigerated. Properly storing these ingredients will help maintain their quality and ensure your Tiger's Milk cocktail tastes great every time.

FAQ

Is Tiger's Milk suitable for those with dietary restrictions?

Tiger's Milk contains dairy (milk and cream) and egg, which may not be suitable for vegans, those with dairy allergies, or egg allergies. However, substitutions can be made to accommodate these dietary needs. Use almond, soy, or oat milk instead of dairy milk and cream, and aquafaba as a vegan egg white substitute. Always ensure the alternative ingredients blend well together in terms of flavor and consistency.
