My friend developed this recipe in advance of his wedding, and I made it to be his guinea pig. It’s super tasty, and nicely balanced (the agave goes well both with the espresso and the tequila; I could imagine knocking it down a little to make it slightly more coffee/forward).
- 1 oz Mr. Black cold brew coffee liqueur
- 1 oz reposado tequila
- 1 oz espresso
- 1/2 oz agave
His wedding is in March, so no batch details yet! But I know his plan for batching is to use cold brew concentrate instead of espresso. If you’re not familiar with concentrate I’m not sure if you can buy it, but when I make cold brew at home it ends up needing 3 parts water for every part of cold brew.
Oh, I make do cold brew from coffee, grind it coarse and have a contraption that is like a beaker with a central metal filter column that holds the coffee. It does come out strong but is so smooth I am having trouble imagining it working in the cocktail.
I can’t have too many versions to try, I’ve had these parties before when working up recipes and 4 seems to be the magic number of variations.
