Vanilla Rose

     Working on the new drink menu for Dante, "W" came up with another whiskey cocktail, This one was to use Four Roses Small Batch, a product that doesn't sell that well in the bar. He mixed up trial after trail over the weeks and we finally came down to it, a splash of lemon juice really opened up the drink. He deemed it:

Vanilla Rose

2 oz. Four Roses Small Batch 

0.75 oz. Tuaca

0.5 oz. Vanilla simple syrup

0.5 oz.  lemon juice

3 cracked espresso beans

shake and double strain into cocktail glass

- espresso bean garnish

A great whiskey cocktail with a sweet tone, a slight tang and great depth from the espresso.
