Alcoholic Cocktail Any Glass 4 ingredients

Recipe

  • 3 oz Vodka (Vanilla)
  • 1 oz Coffee Liqueur
  • 1 oz Creme de Cacao
  • 1 oz Chilled espresso

Instructions

Invented by a bartender at the Black Mallard Hotel in New York City on the east side. Due to the upscale locale, the management would not let him put the name "Undertaker" on the menu. Tastes just like a chilled espresso, but with a serious kick. A few can knock you over. The alcoholic effect sneaks up on you after the initial caffiene buzz from the espresso. In a martini shaker over ice, add the Vodka (Vanilla), Coffee Liqueur, and Creme de Cacao. Shake. Strain ice and pour into a chilled martini or cocktail glass. Stir in the chilled espresso and serve.

About Undertaker

The Undertaker cocktail is a rich and indulgent drink that combines the velvety flavors of vanilla vodka with the robust notes of coffee liqueur and creme de cacao. This drink is further enhanced by the addition of chilled espresso, which brings a depth of flavor and a touch of bitterness to balance the sweetness. The Undertaker is perfect for those who enjoy a bold and sophisticated cocktail experience, offering a harmonious blend of chocolate and coffee flavors with a smooth vanilla finish.

The origin of the Undertaker cocktail is somewhat obscure, as it is not one of the classic cocktails with a well-documented history. However, it likely emerged during the modern cocktail renaissance, which saw bartenders experimenting with dessert-like flavors and coffee-infused drinks. This cocktail appeals to those who appreciate the craft of mixology and are looking for a drink that combines the energizing qualities of espresso with the comforting and luxurious notes of chocolate and vanilla. Its name, Undertaker, suggests a drink that commands attention and respect, much like its impressive flavor profile does.

This cocktail is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Any Glass, though any glass works!

Feel free to get creative with substitutions — try different fruit types, sugar substitutes, or liquor brands. Crafting cocktails should be fun!
