  • Although I don't like drinks that are too sweet, I thought this benefited from 1 tsp pineapple gum syrup for balance.

Turkish Coffee

1 1⁄2 oz Dark rum (espresso bean infused)
1⁄2 oz Virgin Islands Rum, Cruzan Blackstrap
3⁄4 oz Coffee liqueur
1⁄2 oz Cynar
1 ds Cardamom bitters, Scrappy's
Instructions

Stirred, strained into a single old fashioned glass. No ice or garnish. Do 1 or 2 dashes of the strongly flavored Scrappy's cardamom bitters depending on how heavy your dash is as well as to taste.

Notes

I am an unabashed fan of strong, bitter coffee flavors, and this is a boozy homage to one of my favorite drinks.

For the coffee infused rum, infuse 8 oz of dark rum with 1 oz coffee beans for 24 hours. I used El Dorado 8 Year Demerara rum and Intelligentsia Black Cat Espresso.

Excepting perhaps Bittermens NOLA Coffee Liqueur, I've rarely had a coffee liqueur that has enough coffee strength and bitterness to my liking. I used Coffee Heering for it's high 70 proof, and infuse it for a few days with additional coffee beans.

Curated this slightly - Changed Hugh to Hugo Ensslin. Changed instructions to conform with the cited text - it was shaken originally.  Thanks,  Zachary

This is the same as Kill or Cure that has been on the site since 2013, but this version's attribution information is better.

It appears in Beta (née Rogue) Cocktails, where Punt e Mes is recommended.

On a user tip, I merged the "Kill or Cure" into the Bonsoni - typically, I'd prefer the oldest instance of a drink to get credit. Thanks,  Zachary
