FAQ's
Can I substitute Dubonnet in the BAD cocktail with another ingredient?
Yes, if Dubonnet is not available, you can substitute it with another red vermouth like Sweet Vermouth. The flavor profile will change slightly, but it will still complement the Brandy and Absinthe well, maintaining the cocktail's character.
What is the best way to serve the BAD cocktail?
The BAD cocktail is best served cold in a cocktail glass. Ensure all ingredients are well chilled before mixing, and consider garnishing with a lemon twist to enhance its aromatic profile.
How does the alcohol content of the BAD cocktail compare to a standard cocktail?
The BAD cocktail has an alcohol content of 29.14%, which is relatively high compared to the average cocktail, which usually ranges from 15% to 25%. Its higher alcohol content is due to the combination of Brandy and Absinthe, making it a stronger choice.
Is it better to shake or stir the BAD cocktail?
The BAD cocktail should be shaken, not stirred. Shaking helps to properly mix the Brandy, Absinthe, and Dubonnet, ensuring a well-integrated flavor and a slightly diluted, chilled drink that enhances its enjoyability.
What occasions are best suited for serving the BAD cocktail?
Given its strong flavor profile and higher alcohol content, the BAD cocktail is well-suited for evening events or small gatherings. It's a sophisticated choice that could be particularly appreciated by guests who enjoy potent, character-rich cocktails.
