Merry New Year!

Did you stay up past midnight last night to welcome in the New Year? Need a little perk up after a long night of libations? If you sipped on this beast, you just might have.

Midnight

2 oz Van Gogh Double Espresso Vodka

2 oz strong black coffee

1 oz black rum

Combine your ingredients in a cocktail shaker, stir until mixed, and then strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with coffee beans.

Strong, heavy flavor, but really delicious. Definitely an after-dinner drink for those of you who want a little more “oomph” than the usual Irish Coffee or cappuccino.

Cheers!
