I invented/first made this drink on October 16, 2020. I am not a professional bartender, but mixology and cocktail-making have recently become a quarantine hobby of mine. This is the first true, planned, and measured cocktail that I’ve created (as opposed to just an improvised mashup of ingredients). It ended up tasting amazing, and it’s great for anyone who’s a fan of cinnamon dolce drinks from coffee shops. It takes pages from the Espresso Martini and the Cafe Con Leche Flip recipe I recently saw on your channel. This was born out of a desire to figure out what else I can do with the Fireball and Kahlua I had previously bought for other recipes. The name is meant to invoke the feel of enjoying your favorite coffee shop drink, but as part of an evening at your favorite bar.
