A Step-by-Step Journey to Your Perfect Brave Bull Cocktail
Step 1: Prepare Your Glass
Select your preferred glass (we recommend an old-fashioned glass or a lowball glass) and fill it with ice cubes.
The ice will chill the glass, ensuring your cocktail stays cool for longer.
Step 2: Pour the Tequila
It’s time to introduce the star of the show—the tequila. Remember, you’re pouring 60 ml (or 2 oz.) of tequila.
Measure it out and pour it over the ice.
The tequila should make up the majority of the cocktail, establishing the solid base that the Brave Bull is known for.
Step 3: Add the Coffee Liqueur
Next up is the coffee liqueur.
This sweet, rich ingredient adds depth and a hint of complexity to your cocktail.
Measure out 30 ml (or 1 oz.) and pour it gently into your glass. Pouring it slowly ensures that it mixes well with the tequila.
Step 4: Stir, Don’t Shake
Now that you’ve got your ingredients together, it’s time to mix. Using a long spoon, gently stir your cocktail.
This blends the two key ingredients together without diluting them too much.
Remember, we’re not shaking this cocktail!
Step 5: Final Touches
Give your cocktail a final inspection.
Does it have the right ratio of tequila to coffee liqueur?
If it looks good, then congratulations! – You’ve made your very own Brave Bull.
It’s time to sit back and enjoy. Salud!
Remember, making cocktails is as much about having fun as it is about the end product.
Now let’s dive deeper into the world of the brave bull and discover the magic that makes it so special.
Tequila: High-end vs Low-cost Brands
Every good Brave Bull starts with the right tequila.
Premium brands can provide a more sophisticated and complex flavor, while lower-cost options may offer a more straightforward and robust agave kick.
Top Shelf Selections
When it comes to top-shelf tequilas, consider options like Don Julio Añejo or Patrón Silver.
These are characterized by their smooth finish and rich, layered flavors.
Value options
For a more budget-friendly approach, El Jimador Blanco or Espolón Reposado are solid choices.
These brands deliver a strong, authentic taste without breaking the bank.
