The Sexton Emerges for Valentine's Day

The Sexton Emerges for Valentine's Day

Irish whiskey does not have to be confined to St. Patrick’s Day. With its rich sherry back and chocolatey notes, The Sexton is a delightful addition to add to Valentine’s Day festivities, from cocktails to neat sipping,

#100DaysOfCocktails - Day 59 - Espresso Martini

Dick Bradsell was approached by a young lady in his London bar with one request: give her something that will "wake me up and [expletive] me up." This cocktail is the one he created in his London bar for that purpose. While I may disagree with this being a Martini, I understand why it was named as such. Considering the flavor profile, I can give it a pass.

After a long day of travel, sometimes you hit something that is familiar. It is definitely a spin on the classic Irish Coffee, but a great way to relax after thirteen hours on the road. #100DaysOfCocktails moves into the modern era, slowly, with the Kentucky Coffee.

If there is an iconic coffee drink, it is the Irish Coffee. There are other ones out there, but none with with cache that this simple cocktail has. Warmed by the coffee and a shot of Irish whiskey, a little whipped cream on top for texture, this is not a bad way to end a meal.
