What About Love?

Played around with an old pal, wanting to make a valentines drink involving crème de cacao and whiskey. The Campari and a bit of saline help balance out the sweetness of the crème de cacao, and the vanilla extract brings everything together.

1.75 oz Rye Whisky @albertapremium
1/4 oz Crème de Cacao @mcguinnessmix
1/4 oz Campari @campariofficial
3 drops Saline Solution
Scant bar spoon (1/8 tspn) of Vanilla Extract @blindowlflavours

Add to a mixing glass with ice and stir and strain. Serve with a piece of good quality dark chocolate.

Lover’s Warmth

Named for that warm heat you feel at the end of the sweet drink thanks to the chili vodka.
I started the idea for this drink as a clarified Brandy Alexander, but started swapping components and ended up here. A sweet chocolate liqueur that has an almost citrus taste thanks to the lemon juice and amaretto, with a subtle heat at the very end.

9.5 oz Rye @albertapremium
4.25 oz Crème de Cacao @mcguinnessmix
1.5 oz Amaretto @disaronno_official
1.5 oz Chili Vodka @sonsofvancouver
11 dashes Aztec Chocolate Bitters @feebrothersofficial
21 drops Saline Solution
5.5 oz Milk
2.75 oz Lemon Juice

Add everything to a container and let sit overnight to curdle. Strain through a filter, doesn’t matter what so long as it’s fine enough to hold the curds. The curds act like sand and are the main filtering agent of this. Once you start filtering through, take the first bit and add it back through so it has a chance to go through the curd filter.
Bottle the resulting liquid, serve chilled with dark chocolate.
