The Aggravation is February 20th Drink of the Day!!

A very interesting one today that combines the peat flavor of scotch along with cream and coffee liqueur. A surprisingly mellow cocktail with a bold underbelly, this is one that will go well with that after-dinner conversation. The cream tends to mend everything together nicely, without hiding anything other than the overwhelming punch of the whisky, without losing its role in the overall flavor of the drink itself.

The only aggravation about this Drink of the Day is that it will be over too soon and you may have to make another before it’s all said and done.

 

Aggravation

1 1/2 oz. Blended Scotch Whisky

1 oz. Coffee Liqueur

Cream

 

Method: Build this in an old fashioned glass filled with ice by first pouring in the first two ingredients to measure. Top off with cream. Stir and serve.
