Mind Eraser
Since I've been back at work, I've missed the many cocktails we used to make and enjoy at home. Somehow we just revert to the same old same old drinks, because it's a bit of trouble to find new recipes, make sure we have the ingredients, and mix them up. So recently I decided to institute Saturday Cocktails -- a special new cocktail to try out each Saturday. (Sadly, we are going to do Mocktail February this year, so it will be Saturday Mocktails for a while. I will miss drinking alcohol!)
This past Friday I decided we should try out our Saturday Cocktail immediately after the choir "dress rehearsal" with orchestra -- because it is exhausting to stand and sing all night, and we deserved a treat. This one was a hit! We drank many, many of these from Friday until even tonight, when I am currently drinking one after work, by myself because A. is at Alice's.
Note many recipes for this drink call for twice as much coffee liqueur as the following recipe. A. and I both think that would be too sweet, but suit yourself if you're going to try this one. Without further ado:
MIND ERASER
In a rocks glass filled with ice, pour 1 ounce coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlua) and then float 2 ounces of vodka on top, pouring down the side of the glass so it stays separate. Top with 2 ounces club soda (we use seltzer), poured down the side of the glass the same way. Drink it down using two short straws.
Mind you, we are anti-plastic straw in this household, but we made an exception for this recipe because we had some long plastic straws on hand, and I cut them in half for this recipe. And we wash and reuse them until they disintegrate.
And now I think I'll have another.
