Shots

Nonno Alfredo

Named after my great-grandfather, who had a bit of Sambuca in his Italian coffee (dark roast made in a mokka pot) every morning into his 90's. As far as I know, this is my own creation. It's really good, assuming you like coffee and sambuca!

Ingredients:

  • 1 oz Mr. Black, chilled
  • 1 oz Sambuca, chilled

Directions:

  1. Add Sambuca to shot glass
  2. Float Mr. Black on top
  3. Optional: garnish with lemon twist

Staten Island Tapwater

Truly wretched cocktail. I got the idea from Reddit, where someone posted an April fool's cocktail of equal parts every clear liquor in their cabinet. Someone else commented that it should be served in a tall glass and called a Long Island Tapwater. I thought it had more Staten Island vibes.

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz of equal parts mix of every clear liquor in the cabinet

Directions:

  1. Add mixture to shot glass.
  2. garnish with meat-wrapped cheese.
