Back to the book. Continuing on in the Vodka chapter the next drink I tried was the Dark Night. I must confess that at this point I am looking for drinks that I have most of the ingredients for. The cocktail shaker was a Christmas gift as was the drink book.
Dark Night
ice cubes
1 measure Kahlua
1 measure Vodka
1 measure cold Espresso
2 tsp sugar syrup
Put ice into a cocktail shaker and add remaining ingredients. Shake well and strain into a chilled Martini glass.
Yes, I made the simple syrup (equal parts water and sugar and boil for a couple of minutes). I did take the easy route with the espresso and made from instant espresso.
If you like coffee then you will like this drink. The Kahlua and espresso give this drink a rich coffee flavor.
Ooooh, this sounds good! I'd love to sample it sometime :)
