Made with Ketel 1 Granjenever and Old Krupnik. Upped the Genever to 2oz and garnished with a lemon wedge. Lovely!

History

This was my attempt to create a drink that brought out the bitter aspects of coffee while downplaying the sweetness. I also wanted to avoid milk or actual brewed coffee.

a more sophisticated black russian.  probably wont interfere with elections.

drinkingandthinking commented on 8/11/2018:

Nice but I thought it needed a bit more depth. I added 1/2 oz. Blackstrap rum for sweetness and body and 1/2 bsp. Yellow Chartreuse for a little more zing. Probably could have accomplished the same with just a bit more Kahlua too ;)

  • Light, a bit sweet for my taste, but still enjoyable. Might reduce the orgeat a tad next time. The genever gets a little lost (I used a 5-year-old korenwijn).
  • Really good, fruity almond taste with a malty nutty finish — ★★★★★

  • The volumes of lime, elderflower, and violet are enough for two champagne cocktails.
  • More bubbles and a little campari

  • Was in the mood to use Meyer lemons and was quite happy with the results. Also, bumped up the pear eau de vie to a fat quarter.
