Modern Bulldog Cocktail Trends
The Bulldog cocktail is a classic cocktail that has been around for decades, and it continues to be a popular drink today. While there haven’t been many new variations on the original recipe, there have been some trends in the way the drink is served and presented.
One trend is to use different types of coffee liqueurs or to make your own coffee liqueur from scratch. Some bartenders have also added a splash of cream to the drink to give it a creamier texture.
Another trend is to serve the Bulldog in a martini glass or a coupe glass rather than a traditional highball glass. This gives the drink a more elegant and sophisticated appearance.
Finally, some bartenders have started garnishing the Bulldog with a sprig of fresh mint or a twist of lemon peel to add a pop of color and a fresh, bright flavor to the drink.
