Strong Rum & Strong Coffee

1 ounce aged white rum

2 ounces Black Blood of the Earth (in this case, Ethiopian)

1/4 ounce sugar cane syrup

4-5 dashes aromatic bitters (here I used Fee Bros.)

Mix rum, coffee, and syrup thoroughly, add ice and bitters, stir

Letting the drink sit for 5-10 minutes allows for full development of flavor.

I present them here in a form that may be printed, front & back, on common calling cards, with her kind permission.
