Mexican Sunrise

1 oz Blanco tequila
1 oz Añejo tequila
1 oz Coffee (Cold brew)
1⁄4 oz Cinnamon Schnapps liqueur
3⁄4 oz Simple syrup
1 ds Bitters, Fee Brothers Aztec Chocolate
1 ds Bitters, Regans' orange bitters
1 ds Vanilla extract
1 pn Cinnamon
Instructions

Combine all ingredients except cinnamon in cocktail shaker. Shake. Serve up on a glass rimmed with cinnamon sugar or garnish with a dash of cinnamon.

Notes

Can sub the cold brewed coffee for a coffee liqueur to make this extra potent.

I used hot damn cinnamon schnapps (because its what I had on hand), but a cinnamon simple syrup would work here as well.

Tasters were split 50/50 on a sugar rim vs. dash of cinnamon on top.

  • Made with amere sauvage at a smaller proportion. Still too big for my glasses. Lime mist gentian drinks, grew on me. In both nose and finish I got a surprising ginny quality.

Dan commented on 5/10/2018:

I started to make this and then couldn't find the bottle of Strega I was sure I had. Substituting yellow Chartreuse, I thought it was a nice drink, if a touch sweet. The sweet aroma of pineaple doesn't need much sugar to carry it. I think Strega is pretty similar to Yellow Chartresue. Maybe 1/2 oz lime? Or 3/4 Suze and 1/2 Strega?

  • Decadent and rich. Drink by a fire. IMHO, much better than most 4★ drinks on this site. (Made with Skip Rock's Nocino and normal chocolate bitters.)
  • Try again with nocino.

sevyryelsdorn commented on 5/07/2018:

The original recipe calls for walnut liqueur, specifically Toschi. I used Nocello in this as specified in this recipe, which is a walnut and hazelnut liqueur - the hazelnut was very dominant and did not make for a good drink. Should be changed from Nocello to Nocino to reflect a true walnut liqueur.

Zachary Pearson commented on 5/07/2018:

Curated this to conform to the cited article: Bulleit rye, Toschi walnut liqueur, MM Chocolate-chili bitters. Added date, simplified instructions. Thanks,  Zach

Craig E commented on 8/18/2022:

Curated to fix broken reference link. Though LA Weekly calls for shaking, it may make more sense to stir this as Cocktail Virgin suggests.
