Black Lavender Latte
This boozy spin on a coffee classic will leave you warm and ready for more. Lavender syrup is the key, with a little help from cognac and the most amazing coffee liqueur: Mr. Black. If you try this with something like Kahlua or Tia Maria, I think you’ll be sorely disappointed. I’d opt for strong black coffee or espresso instead, and let the cognac do all the warming!
Plain coffee or espresso is also a great substitution if you want a lower ABV cocktail
Black Lavender Latte Recipe:
2oz Coffee Liqueur
1oz Cognac
1oz Lavender Syrup
3oz Steamed Milk
2 dashes Lavender bitters (optional- this will really punch up the lavender flavor)
Add all ingredients to a shaker (no ice, this is a hot cocktail!), shake for 10-15 seconds, pour into a tempered heat safe glass or mug. Enjoy!
*TIP
To steam milk without a fancy machine: Add milk to a mason jar and set in the microwave for 30sec to a min (depending on how powerful your microwave is). Remove from microwave, add lid and shake vigorously for at least 10-15 seconds. Voila, frothy hot milk.
