The Midnight Myrtle
For when the evening slows down and the conversation picks up. Coffee and citrus are an old pairing, and lemon myrtle lifts the roast so it doesn’t sit heavy.
Ingredients
| 60ml | coffee liqueur |
| 30ml | Myrlèmon |
| Optional | A splash of simple syrup (if you prefer a touch more sweetness) |
Garnish
- A dusting of cocoa powder, three roasted coffee beans, or a thin orange zest.
The Serve
- Chill a rocks or martini glass in the freezer until frosted.
- Add the coffee liqueur and Myrlèmon to a shaker with plenty of ice.
- Shake hard.
- Pour everything, ice and all, into the chilled glass.
- Add your garnish. If you’re using orange zest, twist it over the glass first.
In the glass
Dark and dense with a fine foam. It starts chocolatey and warm, then the myrtle leaves a bright glow on the way down.
Dark, vibrant and unexpected.
