A decadent, yet not too sweet combination of coffee liqueur and cold brew coffee with cream, caramel and depth from Fernet. It’s the bomb!
__________________
1.5 oz Vitae Spirits Coffee Liqueur
1 oz. Snowing in Space Gimmie Dat cold Brew Coffee
0.5oz Half N Half
0.5oz Caramel Simple syrup*
Bar spoon Fernet
_______________
Caramel Simple syrup
To start, stir together the 1 cup sugar and about 1/8 cup of water in a small pot over low heat. Add 0.5oz lemon juice and allow mixture to desolve. (lemon helps keep sugar from crystallizing.) Once the mixture is dissolved, crank up the heat to medium-high and cook the syrup (covered) for about 2 minutes to jump start the caramel process. Then uncover it and stir it constantly until the syrup is a light amber color. Once it’s the color you want, carefully remove it from the heat and stir in the other 1/2 cup of water. Do this very slowly as it will hiss and might splatter, which can burn you.

Based of the classic Latin drink Horchata, this creamy, frothy, cinnamon cocktail is sure to delight everyone at the party. A perfect blend of spice, spirit and rice milk.

1 1/2 oz Vitae Spirits Coffee Liqueur
1/2 oz Dark Caramel syrup
few dashes of Orange Bitters
strip of orange peel
_____________________
Dark Caramel Syrup
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup of water
2 cups of water
Combine sugar and 1/4 of water in a pan over medium high heat. Have 2 cups of water ready off to the side. Stir until the sugar dissolves and starts to boil. Let the sugar boil until it starts to change color, watch carefully and when the sugar turns into a medium to darkish color, turn off the heat and CAREFULLY start to add the water in small amounts. The melted sugar will sputter and heave up like lava and is over 300 degrees. Stir carefully and add the rest of the water. If you have any un-melted bits, turn the heat back on and let melt. Let cool and then bottle and refrigerate.
