Yesterday I was in New York City and I seized the opportunity to save shipping and get myself over to Porto Rico Coffee Importers.
For those of you who don't know this company, please consider this your wake-up call. Porto Rico has been importing and roasting coffee since way before it was trendy to gasp over coffee that tastes more like lemonade than rich, thick and dark coffee.
I for one am not impressed by coffee with citrus notes so for my taste- Porto Rico should just keep doing what they are doing. Since 1907.. Before coffee became trendy and sporting.
When it was the drink of the the worker- not the yuppie or the affected.
That brings me to Seattle Distilling Coffee Liqueur. And a good shot of Barrell Whiskey #001. Plus a marvelous new bitter from my friend Joe Fee. It's Molasses. The deepest, darkest sugar- bitter, sweet- salubrious. A tangle of the islands- sweet floral notes and spices in each smoky drop.
I call this drink-
