The perfect after-dinner cocktail.
Coffee and two bitter Italian liqueurs lend bold layers of flavor to this bourbon cocktail.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 oz. bourbon
- 1 oz. brown-buttered coffee
- 1/2 oz. Campari
- 1/4 oz. Fernet-Branca
- 1/4 oz. simple syrup (1:1)
- Tools:barspoon, mixing glass, strainer
- Glass:rocks
Preparation
Stir all of the ingredients with ice, then strain into a glass over a large ice cube.
Brown-Buttered CoffeeAdd ¼ cup of salted butter to a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until the butter melts and turns brown (taking care not to let it burn). Add 2 cups of brewed medium-roast coffee and let cool. Refrigerate the mixture for 24 hours, then strain through cheesecloth and bottle for use; keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.
