Categories     beverage

Time 5m

Yield 1 drink

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
2 ounces bourbon, such as Woodford Reserve
1 ounces sweet vermouth, such as Carpano Antica Formula
4 dashes chocolate bitters, such as Fee Brothers Aztec Chocolate Bitters
1 small slice fresh red chile

Steps:

  • Put the honey and cocoa powder on separate small plates. Prepare a glass by dipping half of the rim into the honey (take care to wipe off the excess), then the same half of the glass into the cocoa powder. Set aside.
  • Add the bourbon, vermouth, bitters and chile slice to a mixing glass and lightly muddle the chile to extract just a little heat. Add ice and stir the cocktail thoroughly. Using a julep strainer, slowly strain into the prepared glass, taking care not to aerate the liquid.

MANHATTAN WITH AMARO AND COCOA

A mixture of rye whiskey and amaro, with the addition of bitters, sets this simply made cocktail on the road to a manhattan. But then there are detours: the chocolate liqueur to add a mellow accent, and the cardamom for a hint of spice. I also tried substituting coffee liqueur for the chocolate, with great success. It is from the 18th Room in New York, where it is called Before Night Falls.
