Dog's Nose
Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.6 / 5
The Dog's Nose cocktail is a straightforward, stout-based drink that combines the robust and creamy flavors of Guinness with the botanical notes of gin. Traditionally served in a pint glass, the concoction is a unique blend that marries the malty depth of the dark beer with the aromatic complexity of gin. This drink is typically consumed cold and offers a rather unconventional mix of ingredients that might not cater to everyone's taste, hence its potential for varied reactions among those who try it. The Dog's Nose might appeal to those looking for an adventurous twist on their usual stout or to experiment with the harmonizing potential of beer and spirits.
