FAQ's

PREPARATION_TECHNIQUES

What is the best way to serve a Zebulon cocktail?

While the classic Zebulon cocktail recipe includes orange liqueur, Triple Sec, lemon juice, and gin, you can substitute ingredients based on your preferences and what you have on hand.

However, keep in mind that substitutions may alter the original taste and alcohol content of the cocktail.

The Zebulon cocktail has an alcohol content of 31%, making it a moderately strong drink. It's important to enjoy it responsibly, especially if you're not accustomed to cocktails with a higher alcohol content.
