Bartender Tyler Ledbetter created this cocktail with the intent of marrying the wealthy flavors of the Espresso Martini with the spirit-forward profile of a basic Outdated Original.
He chosen Cantera Negra Cafe liqueur for its potential to enhance, relatively than overpower, the Brother’s Bond Bourbon that serves as the bottom. The liqueur’s pure agave sweetness, with hints of vanilla and low, pairs fantastically with the bourbon’s caramel smoothness and refined smokiness. A splash of Ruby Port provides a contact of purple shade and depth, whereas orange bitters and recent orange peel present a citrusy steadiness. Perfect as a late-night or post-dinner drink, this cocktail is flexible sufficient to take pleasure in at any time.
