FAQ's

Preparation techniques icon

What is the best way to achieve a well-shaken Three Miler cocktail?

To achieve a well-shaken Three Miler cocktail, fill a cocktail shaker with ice, add the white rum, lemon juice, grenadine, and cognac, and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds. This ensures the mixture is thoroughly chilled and mixed, giving the cocktail its signature cold and smooth texture.

Garnishing tips icon

What garnish works best with a Three Miler?

A twist of lemon peel or a maraschino cherry works best as a garnish for a Three Miler. These garnishes complement the citrus notes from the lemon juice and add a touch of elegance to the presentation.

Serving suggestions icon

What is the ideal glass to serve a Three Miler in?

A Three Miler is ideally served in a chilled cocktail glass. This type of glass, typically used for martinis, enhances the cocktail's presentation and keeps it at an optimal cold temperature.

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I substitute another type of rum if I don't have white rum for a Three Miler?

Yes, you can substitute white rum with another type like dark rum or spiced rum, but it may slightly alter the flavor profile of the Three Miler. White rum is preferred for its clean, light taste that doesn't overpower the other ingredients.

Alcohol content comparison icon

How does the alcohol content of a Three Miler compare to a standard cocktail?

The Three Miler has an alcohol content of 30%, which is higher than many standard cocktails that usually range between 10% to 20% alcohol by volume. Its higher alcohol content is due to the equal parts of white rum and cognac, making it a relatively stronger drink.
