I have a very personal connection to this drink and not just because it was one of the first of my creations put on a menu, which it was. But to find out why ya gotta watch the video! I will say here though that although this drink is somewhat problematic in it’s balance it is one that I am incredibly proud of and also one that became a cult favorite at Cole’s over the years, garnering a small following of regulars who would ask for this around the holidays year after year. And now dear Barflies I lay it at your feet for your judgement and hopefully enjoyment!
