First Word Morning Edition

This is my riff on the wehavethelastword campaign  and I call it First Word Morning Edition.

Recipe

• 1 oz St George Nola coffee liqueur

• 1 oz brandy from Remy Martin

• 1 oz Fernet Blanca

• 1 oz Graham’s tawny port

• 1 egg

Instruction:

• Dry shake everything, strain and pour.

Fernet adds a wonderful bitter and herbacious taste which gives the drink the depth it needs. St George coffee liqueur has been my favorite with its earthy taste and notes of hazelnut. I think it has a higher level of caffeine than the average too– making it the perfect replacement for everyday coffee. I was worried it might be too bitter even though I don’t have sweet tooth, but the port and whole egg made the difference.
