Ingredients
Coffee 1.5 oz bourbon .5 oz heavy cream 2 tsp walnut liqueur Chocolate bitters Instructions Make a small pot of regular coffee. Once cool, pour into a silicone ice cube mold and add 2 tsp walnut liqueur to each square. Freeze. Once frozen, dry shake the bourbon, chocolate bitters, and heavy cream by adding all three to a shaker without ice and agitating vigorously for a few seconds. Pour into a rocks glass, then add a coffee ice cube and serve. If you want the full experience, I recommend Crude Bitters coffee and cocoa bitters, Middle West Spirits Michelone reserve bourbon, Watershed Distillery nocino, and Dog Bar Jim coffee beans, so a little piece of most of the locations where these books were written can be a part of this drink (sorry, LA, I don't have anything hailing from your vicinity). If you aren't following @pickyourpotions on Instagram or signed up for her newsletter (the Cauldron!), you absolutely should! Her instagram is inspiring and her newsletter is full of fun, delicious cocktails! |
