Drink of the Day: Barbary Coast

This one is not for the light imbibers. An interesting combination of three spirits, with liqueur and cream to round out the flavors, and you have yourself a soothing, yet powerful, cocktail. You may want to have this on the end of your dance card. The cream alone will get you in the mood to call it a day. The other ingredients will put an exclamation point on it.

This week has been going fast. Let’s slow it down a little and bring our Thursday to a nice close. I hope you enjoy today’s Drink of the Day. Cheers!
