Unless you live in Canada, or smuggle bottles of the stuff back with you, as … Continue reading →

After being served this amazing deconstructed white russian by Brynn Smith from Soto in LA, I was inspired to try and make one at home myself. Rather than simply mixing coffee liquor, vodka and cream Brynn Hand shook a creamy foam in a cocktail shaker to top the drink off. I thought it would be … Continue reading →

Nonna’s Hot Chocolate

Posted on January 13, 2013 by thedrunkencrane • 1 Comment

One of the main reasons I wanted to make the coffee cynar foam was for the idea of this cocktail. Every young Italian American boy has memories of their Nonna, in this case it was my great grandmother, who came to the US at the age of 18.  She used to always put a dash … Continue reading →
