What is the bartender tip for a Better Than Sex?
The spec is 15 ml of each liqueur to 120 ml of milk: the drink comes out creamy and low-proof, not a liqueur shot. Milk, not cream — the milk lengthens it; heavy cream puts it in Grasshopper territory. White crème de cacao keeps it pale; the dark pulls more chocolate and loses the color. Free pour (no strainer): the shake ice has already diluted it. Disaronno and Kahlúa cover almond and coffee; another Irish cream covers Baileys. The catalog's White Russian is vodka, coffee, and cream; the Toblerone swaps the amaretto for hazelnut and honey; the Grasshopper is mint and cacao, no coffee. The maraschino cherry is just the look.
