FAQ's
What makes DOM Benedictine a special ingredient in the Milk & Honey cocktail?
DOM Benedictine is a special ingredient in the Milk & Honey cocktail due to its unique blend of 27 herbs and spices. This complex flavor profile, with hints of citrus, spice, and floral notes, complements the creamy texture of milk, adding depth and character to the cocktail.
Why is the Milk & Honey cocktail stirred and not shaken?
The Milk & Honey cocktail is stirred and not shaken to maintain the silky texture of the milk. Shaking could introduce too much air and potentially cause the milk to froth or foam, detracting from the smoothness of the final drink. Stirring gently combines the ingredients while preserving the desired consistency.
Why is an Irish glass recommended for serving the Milk & Honey cocktail?
An Irish glass is recommended for serving the Milk & Honey cocktail because its shape and size are ideal for hot beverages. The glass is designed to comfortably hold and retain heat, making it perfect for enjoying the warm, comforting qualities of the Milk & Honey cocktail.
With a 40% alcohol content, how does the Milk & Honey cocktail compare to other classic cocktails?
The 40% alcohol content in the Milk & Honey cocktail places it on the higher end of the spectrum compared to many classic cocktails, which often range between 15% to 30% alcohol content. This makes it a stronger choice, suited for those who prefer a drink with a more pronounced alcohol presence.
If I'm out of DOM Benedictine, what is a suitable substitute for making a Milk & Honey cocktail?
If you're out of DOM Benedictine, a suitable substitute for making a Milk & Honey cocktail could be B&B (Benedictine and Brandy) for a similar herbal and slightly sweet profile, or you could try using another herbal liqueur like Chartreuse for a different but complementary flavor profile.
