FAQ – Frequently asked questions about milk cocktails

1. Can you really use milk in cocktails? Yes! Milk gives cocktails creaminess and depth – especially when combined with sweet and strong ingredients.
2. Why a copper mug instead of a glass? Copper insulates perfectly, keeps your drink cold longer, and looks stylish.
3. Do I have to froth the milk? No – cold, unfoamed milk is sufficient for milk cocktails. Exception: dessert cocktails.
4. What should I do if the milk curdles in the shaker? Avoid curdling by combining spirits and milk carefully and not using too much acid.
5. Which milk alternatives work well? Almond milk for a nutty touch, coconut milk for exotic flavors, oat milk for a velvety consistency.
6. Can milk cocktails also be made alcohol-free? Of course – for example, with fruit juices, vanilla syrup, or non-alcoholic liqueurs. Perfect for children and drivers!
