That kind of weekend

Cara sposa
Adapted from "New York Bartender's Guide" by Sally Ann Berk. This guide has a much better index than most I've run across, making it possible to find something to make with what you've got on hand.

Ingredients:
3 parts coffee liqueur
2 parts orange liqueur such as Cointreau
2 parts half and half

Method:
Combine liqueurs, half and half and ice in a cocktail shaker. Strain into a cocktail glass.

Yes, it was that kind of weekend. The kind where parental health situations spiral from not great to holy crap, and when you do the math and realize that by the end of the week, you will have had one day not at work out of the last 20. When the wind rips off part of the precariously perched structure formerly known as a porch and deposits it farther out in the yard. Yes, that kind of weekend.

So out come the holiday liqueurs that I blogged about here, some dairy badness and the crystal martini glass in an attempt to salvage the tail end of the weekend.

Rating: I'm not much into cream drinks, but this was pretty tasty, thanks especially to that Caribou-bean laced liqueur. Don't think the caffeine will keep me up tonight.
