FAQ's
Can I use any type of bourbon in the Fancy Free cocktail?
Yes, you can use any type of bourbon in the Fancy Free cocktail. However, choosing a high-quality bourbon that you enjoy drinking neat will greatly enhance the flavor of the cocktail.
Why is the Fancy Free cocktail stirred and not shaken?
The Fancy Free cocktail is stirred and not shaken to maintain the clarity and smooth texture of the drink. Stirring gently combines the ingredients without diluting the cocktail too much or introducing air bubbles, creating a silky, well-integrated mix.
What garnish would complement the Fancy Free cocktail?
A maraschino cherry is a classic garnish that complements the Fancy Free cocktail, enhancing its appearance and adding a slight sweetness that pairs well with the bitterness of the bitters and the richness of the bourbon.
What is the best way to serve the Fancy Free cocktail?
The best way to serve the Fancy Free cocktail is over ice in a whisky glass to keep it cold, allowing the flavors to meld together smoothly. Serve it with a stirrer so drinkers can adjust the dilution to their taste.
How does the alcohol content in the Fancy Free compare to a standard cocktail?
With an alcohol content of 35%, the Fancy Free is slightly stronger than the average cocktail, which typically ranges around 20-30% ABV depending on the ingredients and proportions. Its strength is mainly due to the high proof of bourbon and the addition of maraschino cherry liqueur.
