Drink of the Day: Filo Mint Cocktail

Happy Monday, everyone.

One has to wonder why some cocktails are named what they are, but with this one there is no doubt. Here’s a nice dessert-type beverage for you to get your week going in the right direction. A chocolate/mint combination that will be the perfect ending to a fine meal.

Combining coffee liqueur with 100 proof peppermint schnapps, then adding vodka to enhance the effect, you will have yourself a nice creamy combination that will surely be a hit with your guests. Just don’t overdo the schnapps or you will lose the effect with the coffee liqueur and cream. In fact, the 1/2 oz. pour that I use in this could possibly be too much for you. Use your discretion when putting this together.

Hope your week is a fun and productive one. Cheers!
