After Dinner

A friend got me a bottle of Lockhouse for my birthday, and I really wanted to do the bottle some justice. So, this is my best attempt.

Those memories taste like Ferrero Rocher, and this drink kind of does as well. I hope you enjoy this one!

Cocktail Historian

Hi there! My name is Zack Davis. I'm a PhD student in American Studies and I hope to bring what I'm learning in that side of my life to my cocktails.

Muad'Dib - A Dune Cocktail

Pour in your coffee liqueur, Amaro di Angostura, orange liqueur, demerara syrup, and chocolate bitters. Stir and strain into glass. Garnish with ground nutmeg.

Editor's Note

Coffee liqueur meets the spiced depth of Amaro di Angostura in this dessert-forward sipper. Nutmeg aromatics bridge the gap between chocolate and hazelnut notes.
