Drink of the Day: Coffee Alexander
The weekend is winding down and we now find ourselves enjoying Sunday. Hopefully, what this means is that you are giving yourself the day off from all your chores. You are about to refuel for another work week ahead. Here is a nice, tasty treat for you to help you keep focused on nothing but relaxation today.
This is a tweaked version of a classic cocktail I had showcased on here earlier in the week last week. Just adding one ingredient gives this cocktail many more dimensions than its predecessor and one I found fit to introduce today. I can see this fitting well as a nightcap; something that would make a great final course for tonight’s dinner.
Hope your day is filled with…well….not much of anything but relaxation and bliss. Here’s something to help that along and get you in that state of mind. Cheers!
1 1/2 oz. Gin
3/4 oz. Coffee Liqueur
1/2 oz White Creme de Cacao
1 oz. Cream
Method: Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass with ice. Cap with a tin and shake well. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
