- Pouch marked ‘central perk’ me up (bourbon, Amaro, sweet vermouth and espresso)
- Ice for building and serving
- Coffee ginger cookie
- Woodchip
- Small plate
- Lighter
- Mixing jar
- Garnish Skewer
How to make this drink:
- Using a small plate and a lighter (not provided); and working in a well ventilated area, light your wood chip on fire. Be patient with this step, you want to make sure the chip is burning well before you blow it out
- Blow out the wood chip and quickly place it on the plate. Cover with a rocks style glass, smoking the glass while you build the drink
- Empty the pouch marked ‘central perk’ me up into the mixing jar
- Add about ½ cup of ice to the mixing jar
- Using the fat end of the bar spoon, (wooden skewer) stir the cocktail for 20 seconds
- Replace the cover back onto the jar leaving just enough space to strain the cocktail into an ice filled glass
- Garnish by resting the garnish skewer across the rim of the glass, and then carefully rest your coffee ginger cookie on the skewer
