More from the Flip family.
Espresso Martini
Vodka, fresh espresso, and coffee liqueur shaken to a standing foam. Bradsell built it in 1983; the nineties never let go.
Grasshopper
Equal parts crème de menthe, crème de cacao, and cream, shaken cold. An after-dinner mint in a coupe, and unapologetic about it.
White Russian
Vodka and coffee liqueur under a slow float of cream. Dessert that holds its liquor.
