Knockout Death by Chocolate Espresso Fizz Cocktail
In my art school college days, on the occasion of a birthday we would invent various death-by cocktails while hanging out in the nearby bar. When the birthday person arrived at the bar, one of these would await them and was required to be downed in short order. A second cocktail was almost unheard of. This is an updated version and homage to something like those cocktails.
For each tall knock out cocktail
1 measure = about 1fl oz or 30ml
total 8 alcohol measures about 240ml/1 c
Indredients
3 measures creme de cacao
1 measure Kalhua
1 measure dark rum
1 measure cognac
2 measures flavoured liqueurs of choice e.g. amaretto, grand marniere, kir, kirschwasser, calvados
4 measures best strongest espresso, chilled
ice cubes
For each glass:
Place ice cubes in a tall glass to about a third the way up with plenty of room to spare.
Pour the measures over the ice.
Add 2 measures chilled espresso.
Top up with flavoured unsweetened sparkling water of choice e.g. Orange, citrus, berry, cherry, etc
Decorate with a cherry, slice of lime, whatever. Or not.
Warning: After drinking, do not drive or perform any activity requiring normal cognitive or motor functions.
