Delores del Rio

1 oz Cognac
1 oz Mezcal
1⁄2 oz Coffee liqueur
1⁄2 oz Bénédictine
1 ds Absinthe (I used 8 drops)
1 pn Coffee bean (Freshly grated, as garnish)
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain into a double old fashioned glass with a large ice cube, and garnish with freshly grated coffee bean.

History

On New Year's Day, I became inspired by the Streets of Gettysburg's coffee-Benedictine combination and the 1910 Cocktail's Cognac-mezcal duo. I dubbed the creation the Delores del Rio named after the Mexican actress taught by French nuns in Mexico City that mirrors the split-based spirit.
