Playing with a couple different flavors here, I’ve always been a big fan of medium-roast, fruitier coffees since they tend to taste like dark cherries and chocolate.  So why not make a cocktail based on those flavor profiles, right?

ingredients:

• 1½ oz Belle Isle Coffee Moonshine

• 1 oz Luxardo Sangue Morlacco

• 1 oz Cynar

• 2 dashes Aztec Chocolate Bitters

• 2 dashes Cocktail Punk Cherry Bitters

• Luxardo Maraschino Cherries

instructions:

Using a Breville Smoking Gun, use maple wood to smoke the glass (optional). Combine moonshine, cherry liqueur, Cynar and bitters in a mixing glass with ice.  Stir for 10 seconds. Strain and pour over a large rock. Garnish with an orange twist (or rose) and Luxardo maraschino cherries. Serve and enjoy.
