the perfect dessert cocktail

Coe Avenue Sour cocktail
While last weeks cocktail was a riff on a classic dessert, this weeks cocktail is a bit more subtle. This cocktail was designed to compliment a sweet dessert. It’s a little bit sweet, a little bit sour with a velvety mouth feel and a hint of coffee flavor which is mirrored by a sprinkling of crystallized coffee on top to give a beautiful aroma. The Chromatic crystalized coffee is the inspiration for this cocktail, as soon as I saw this product I knew I wanted to incorporate it into a drink recipe. I’m still working on a way to actually put it in a drink, but its lovely as a garnish. 

This cocktail is a first for me on two fronts. First, I finally bought a bottle of Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin, and have never been happier it’s that good. Secondly, this is my first foray with Sloe Gin, it’s one of those things where I sort of knew what it was supposed to be but had never actually tasted any…? Well, check that one off my list. I love a good apertivo and the Cinque has more of a bitter asparagus taste then the sweetness of a traditional Aperol style apertivo, which helps to balance the Sloe Gin. I originally tried this without the sour element but it was too sweet and one-dimensional. The end result is a pretty tasty and sophisticated cocktail.
