Oaxaca coffee cocktail

Not yet rated

Cinnamon Club serves up a house twist on the vintage coffee cocktail in Vivek Singh's tempting coffee cocktail recipe, marrying the flavours of tequila and Port and adding agave syrup and orange bitters for a subtle smokiness. Despite its name, the drink doesn't actually contain any coffee – it's referring to the look of the liquid, which goes brown and opaque thanks to the combination of port and egg white.
