Gato Negro Instantáneo

1 oz Mezcal (Joven, coffee infused - see notes)
1⁄2 oz Amaro Lucano
1⁄2 oz Chocolate liqueur (Trader Vic's)
Instructions

Combine ingredients with ice, strain, and serve up in a cocktail glass.

Notes

Get a coffee filter with a teaspoon of medium or dark roast coffee. Pour the mezcal through the filter and wait for the liquid to filter through. This should take a minute or two.

History

Based on this by Mike Melazzo, but added the instant/filter aspect. No need to wait a few hours.

Golden Slipper

1 1⁄2 oz Kirschwasser
3⁄4 oz Herbal liqueur, Yellow Chartreuse
1 Egg yolk
Instructions

Shake; strain; up.

Notes

Lovely opaque sunshine yellow color.

History

Lots of differing recipes (some involving apricots) exist for this drink. I wasn't sure if Lawlor intended me to leave the egg yolk intact in the drink (as some other recipes specify), but anyway I chickened out and shook the whole thing.

  • Maybe better than I expected though it should be noted I had very low expectations. Fans of Kirschwasser might dig this but I'm not one.
