Since I've been playing around with Tanqueray it seemed a good way to spike coffee. It seems to have worked out well.

Prepare two shots of espresso. Put one shot of espresso in the cup, then the shot of gin and 2 dashes of each bitters. Then add the second shot of expresso. Give it a good stir. Froth the milk with the chocolate in it. Then add to the cup and give a quick stir. Add the last dash of the bitters and then the cinnamon and cloves on top

Editor's Note

A bold, unconventional mocha riff that pairs London Dry Gin with espresso and chocolate. Best served warm for those seeking a botanical twist on a coffee classic.

This is such a unique and bold experiment! I'm curious, what inspired you to pair the botanical notes of gin with a mocha coffee base?
