The heart of this cocktail is the Mr Black Single Origin Ethiopian Liqueur. The nutty and orange notes stand out the most to me, so i wanted to create a drink where those flavors were threaded through the entirety of the drinking experience. This is a celebration of orange and coffee, one of my favorite pairings.
