What is the best type of gin to use in a Copperhead cocktail?
While any type of gin can be used, a London Dry gin is often recommended due to its botanical flavor that pairs well with the other ingredients.
Can I use bottled lemon juice instead of fresh?
While you can use bottled lemon juice, fresh is always better. Bottled lemon juice often contains preservatives and additives that can change the flavor of your cocktail.
Can I make this cocktail without alcohol?
Yes, you can omit the gin and ginger liqueur. Replace them with non-alcoholic substitutes like ginger ale or a non-alcoholic gin. However, the taste will not be exactly the same.
How can I make this cocktail if I don’t have a cocktail shaker?
You can use a mason jar with a tight-fitting lid as a substitute for a cocktail shaker.
What can I substitute for a coupe glass?
If you don't have a coupe glass, you can use a martini glass or any other type of stemmed cocktail glass.
