An after-dinner coffee cocktail gets a double dose of deliciousness when both aged rum and stout beer are added to the mug.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 oz. aged rum (Castro uses Flor de Caña)
- 3/4 oz. rich vanilla syrup
- 2 oz. stout beer
- 2 oz. coffee
- 3/4 oz. heavy cream
- Tools:mixing glass, barspoon
- Glass:mug
- Garnish:cookie (optional)
Preparation
Combine all ingredients, except heavy cream, and roll between a mixing glass and mug. Finish with drink in mug and float heavy cream on top by slowly pouring over the back of a barspoon. Garnish.
Rich Vanilla SyrupCombine 1 cup granulated sugar with 1/2 cup water and 1 split vanilla bean in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and stir until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Remove vanilla bean and transfer to a clean glass jar. Refrigerate and use within 1 month.
