Description
It’s time to get in the spirits. No, we’re not talking about Halloween (although that will be here soon enough). Our taste buds are actually transfixed on National Liqueur Day (on Oct. 16) and how best to celebrate the occasion.
Ingredients
- .25 oz. Chateau Arton Fine Blanche
- .25 oz. Appleton Estate Signature Blend
- .25 oz. Cinzano 1757
- .25 oz. Applewood-smoked Grand Marnier
- .25 oz. Cascara-scented J. Rieger & Co. Caffè Amaro
Instructions
- How it’s created at the bar: Add 3 oz. of batched spirit on Nitro draft to a julep cup filled with crushed ice. Garnish with a healthy amount of manicured mint, dust with powdered sugar, coffee grounds and a metal straw.
- How to recreate at home: Build the cocktail by pouring each ingredient over crushed ice into a julep tin. Give a small stir to meld the ingredients together being careful not to over-mix. Top with a heaping mound of crushed ice. Garnish with a healthy amount of manicured mint, dusted with powdered sugar, and coffee grounds, and sip through a straw (metal, if you have one).
Notes
Be sure there’s a heaping mound of crushed ice, as the alcohol will continually melt the ice as it sits.
