SERVING_SUGGESTIONS

Is the Ice Ice Baby cocktail better served cold or at room temperature?

The Ice Ice Baby cocktail is best served cold. The ingredients suggest a refreshing character, which is significantly enhanced when the drink is chilled, making it perfect for hot weather or as a cool-down beverage.

How does the alcohol content of Ice Ice Baby compare to a standard beer?

CUSTOMIZATION_IDEAS
