What we will say is this: After you take off for happy hour, tired from a long day of Power Point and sales calls and crappy coffee, there's a better way to revive for the night than ordering a vodka-Red Bull. That'll just bug your friendly, already beleagured bartender. Try some of these mixologist-approved caffeine injections, instead.
1 oz Cognac
1 oz Creme de cacao
2 ounces coffee
1 teaspoon superfine sugar
In a cocktail shaker half-filled with ice, combine all ingredients and stir. Strain into a cocktail glass.
Espresso Cocktail
3/4 oz Kahlua or other coffee liqueur
3/4 oz vodka
1 oz Espresso
Shake all ingredients in a shaker filled with ice, strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
Jamaican Coffee
Adapted from barista Giorgios Milos
1 oz Espresso
2 oz Dark Rum
2 tsp Simple syrup
Whipped cream (optional)
Steam the dark rum until hot, then combine with espresso and simple syrup in a glass mug. Garnish with whipped cream.
Black Maria
1 oz Dark Rum
1/2 oz Tia Maria (coffee liqueur)
1 bar spoon superfine sugar
1 cup Cold coffee
Lemon twist for garnish
Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice, stir. Strain into a highball glass over ice, or into a chilled cocktail glass.
