Spirit Forward

Themed

In honor of the anniversary of the premiere of The Americans, which is a show about Russian spies living in America in the '80s as regular Americans, I decided to play with the idea of something that looks American but is Russian inside, so this is basically a White Russian hiding inside of a Manhattan, and like a Matryoshka, it has many different layers to discover.

Cocktail Enthusiast

Mary makes drinks for herself and friends. While her "usual" is Irish on the rocks, she loves to entertain others whose preferences span the spectrum, so she keeps an insanely well-stocked bar. At Chez Mary, not only will you find over thirty types of whiskey, you'll also find the ingredients and implements needed for complicated and exotic cocktails ranging from 13-ingredient tiki punches to fancy Manhattans with every variety of flavored bitters (Thanks, Brendan!). Have her tell you the story ...

Add whiskey, Kahlua, coffee, sweet vermouth, and bitters to a cocktail mixing glass. Add ice and stir with a bar spoon until chilled. Strain into an old-fashioned glass and add ice. Pour cream over the back of bar spoon to "float" it on top of the drink. It is heavy, so it won't really float, but this way it won't plunge to the bottom of the glass. Garnish with cherries on a cocktail pick.
