Irish Curdling Cow Cocktail
The Irish Curdling Cow cocktail is a one-of-a-kind drink that combines three different types of spirits. This combination has a rich, creamy profile and frequently produces a distinct 'curdled' visual impression when acidic components are added. Crafting it perfectly requires precision to achieve the desired appearance since it is best served cold as a novelty drink at parties to highlight its unique appearance.
Ingredients
Serves1- Check off ingredients
- 10mL Baileys (or any other Irish cream liqueur of choice)
- 10mL bourbon
- 10mL vodka
- 30mL fresh orange juice
Method
- Step 1
Place a small glass such as a tumbler, in the freezer to cool thoroughly.
- Step 2
Pour Irish cream liqueur into the chilled glass, producing a base layer.
- Step 3
Gently pour the bourbon over the Irish cream, followed by vodka; pouring over the back of a spoon can assist in preserving distinct initial layers.
- Step 4
Pour fresh orange juice directly onto the top layer, gently and steadily. As it penetrates the Irish cream liqueur, it will produce a visible curdling effect. Serve immediately.
Tips & Suggestions
Preparation Tip 1
Instead of a continuous pour, use a small dropper or spoon to micro-drizzle the orange juice in specific areas of the Irish cream layer. This can result in isolated ‘curds’ for a more textured look.
Preparation Tip 2
Because of the contrasting flavours and textures, consider serving a small, crisp palate neutraliser immediately after this drink, such as a little piece of dark chocolate or a single coffee bean, to reset tastebuds.
