This cocktail sounds a bit out of left field, but this silky-smooth drink is surprisingly refreshing. Well-balanced savory and sour notes accentuate the rich flavors in our Coffee Liqueur perfectly. The addition of Artemisia’s Incendia Bitters, a smoked cherry bitter, makes this cocktail taste like a sour cherry cordial.
