FAQs
Can I use a different type of alcohol?
Yes, you can use rum, vodka, or tequila as an alternative to bourbon. The flavor of the cocktail will change, but it will still be delicious!
Can I make the Batman Cocktail non-alcoholic?
Absolutely! To make a non-alcoholic version, you can replace the alcohol with fruit juices like blackberry juice or grape juice for a similar flavor profile.
Can I make this cocktail ahead of time?
It’s best to prepare this cocktail fresh, as the ice may dilute the drink if it sits for too long. However, you can prepare the base (without ice) ahead of time and store it in the fridge, adding ice just before serving.
What can I serve the Batman Cocktail with?
The Batman Cocktail pairs well with savory appetizers like cheese platters, crispy fries, or even grilled meats. It’s perfect for a themed gathering or casual drink nights.
