Practical notes

When to choose it

How to decide if Biffy Cocktail is right for you

Biffy Cocktail is best when you want brightness and a clean tart edge. Choose it if citrus balance matters more than richness, creaminess or heavy sweetness. The listed serve is about 23.0% ABV, so strength is part of the decision.

Skip if
