The Brave Bull is the spirited tequila version of the Black Russian and gets by with just two ingredients. Earthy tequila meets sweet coffee liqueur for a strong, dark drink. Ideal as an after-dinner cocktail for lovers of coffee flavours.
Instructions
- Fill a tumbler with ice cubes.
- Add the tequila to the glass.
- Add the coffee liqueur.
- Stir briefly with a bar spoon.
- Express a lemon zest over the glass and drop it in as garnish.
Garnish: Lemon zest
Pro tip: Stir the drink only briefly so the tequila and coffee liqueur combine without diluting too much - this keeps it strong and aromatic.
Frequently asked questions
How does the Brave Bull differ from the Black Russian?
The Brave Bull uses tequila instead of vodka, giving it an earthier, agave-forward note.
Which coffee liqueur is suitable?
A classic coffee liqueur such as Kahlua pairs wonderfully and provides the needed sweetness and coffee note.
Can I enrich the Brave Bull with cream?
A splash of cream turns it into a creamy version, similar to a White Russian with tequila.
