Variations on the Polar Bear Cocktail

Here are some variations of the Polar Bear Cocktail:

Herbal Polar Bear

You can substitute the blanc vermouth with a dry vermouth and add a dash of green Chartreuse for an herbaceous kick.

Frosty Bear

Replace the creme de menthe with creme de cacao for a chocolatey twist. Perfect for those who prefear sweeter cocktails. We recommend adding crushed ice in a blender and drinking this version as if it were a frozen shake.

Spicy Bear

Add a slice of jalapeño or a dash of chili tincture to the mix for those who like it hot. It is no secret that spiciness and smokiness mix perfectly.

Arctic Bear

 Use a splash of coconut cream and a pinch of sea salt instead of creme de menthe for a creamy, savory version.
