I’ve got a bottle of dolin rouge that’s been open for about a week so I’ll be playing around with that. I think I’ll start the night off with a vieux carre

    Oh love the coffee bourbon idea. That might just be amazing on its own over single cube of ice. Maybe with a nitro creamer… 🤔

    We could be onto something here… I’m a HUGE knob creek fan. I’ve always like their bourbons precisely because they’re more spiced and want to me.

      I realized a little too late that I was mixing up the graham cracker drink with the coffee one but I was on such a roll I let it ride haha. It does sound like a good drink though, the nitro cream would put it over the top!

      You could do the graham cracker and coffee bit together still and use some swiss merengue as a foamy garnish, reminiscient of a whiskey sour to finish off that s’mores vibe. Alternatively, bake it into lady fingers/crackers and let it soak up the cocktail a bit for a nice end of drink snack with a marshamllow-y pop.

      Knob creek is the shit! If you feel like spending a bit of money, you should grab a bottle of wild turkey Kentucky spirit. 101 proof, single barrel with fantastic flavor. It’s got all the warm spice notes, oakiness, and this great leathery finish that’s amazing. I think you’d like it. We seem to be on the same wavelength haha
