Café de la Mañana ~ Friday's 5 o'clock Wet Your Whistle Call!




Aye Caramba! This ain’t no Gringo Coffee! Warm those bones with a tequila spiked coffee.  The coffee cocktail is the creation of Quentin Ertel, owner of The Saint Social Club in Seattle, and is perfect after a long week and a chilly day. This cocktail will put the zip back in your shorts and give you a second wind as you wind your way into the weekend. Manana never tasted so good!

Café de la Mañana 

Ingredients:

1 1/2 oz Reposado Tequila
1/2 oz Amaretto
1/2 oz Grand Marnier
8 oz. fresh-brewed coffee
Fresh agave nectar whipped cream (recipe below)
Nutmeg, fresh to grate













Directions: 

Add tequila, amaretto, and Grand Marnier to glass and top with fresh, hot coffee. Spoon whipped cream on top of drink. Dust with freshly grated nutmeg.

Agave Nectar Whipped Cream

Ingredients:
1 cup heavy cream
2 Tbsp light agave nectar (not dark agave)
1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:
Pour heavy cream into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add agave and vanilla. 

Beat with a hand mixer until the cream starts to stiffen. At first everything will remain liquid around the beaters for a while and then suddenly begin to clump together at about 30-45 seconds. Your whipped cream will still be light and airy at this point and form medium peaks. Don’t whip any more or you’ll end up with butter!
