Please log in to make a comment Matt 12th March 2025 at 00:37 Final comment here - I believe the Bulldog variant listed above should clarify that it uses lightly-aged rum, and isn't distinguished from the Colorado Bulldog simply by the glassware. 2 reply ... Matt 12th March 2025 at 00:35 I decided to try the "Mother" listed above as a variant - it wasn't on the website, so I did a few minutes Internet research, mixed one up and then posted it to Difford's. 1 reply ... Matt 12th March 2025 at 00:21 I don't care for vodka much, and I didn't much like this either. The foamy head delivers a pretty prominent taste of raw alcohol that I didn't like. If you like vodka - you could very well like this. I also found that I liked this better when I added 2 oz (60 ml) or Coke, vs. the 1 oz (30 ml). 1 reply ... Yorey C 26th July 2024 at 21:04 really weird tasting the vodka does not work with coke i dont think 1 reply ... Peter McCarthy 9th February 2025 at 19:41 Vodka + coke is definitely a thing that people drink, so I don't think that's it? Which coffee liqueur did you use? 0 reply ... 1 reply Hunter Newsome 4th September 2023 at 23:30 The citric acid in the cola balances the sweetness quite well. I like the aesthetic, it's like a forbidden 1940's soda fountain drink. 2 reply ... Aidan Spurrill 18th October 2022 at 03:36 They call this a Paralyzer in my neck of the woods. It's usually built in the glass and topped with cream. 2 reply ... Ostap Lupak 21st September 2021 at 18:15 very nice alternative to White Russian. cola makes a difference 2 reply ...
