The earliest cocktails that I ordered at bars were Midori Sours and White Russians. Simple builds, not overly “boozy”. And while I don’t make them as much now, I’ve brought the White Russian back entirely because of Mr Black. Using this liqueur (versus kaluha) you save an entire step (no vodka bottle required), and put the coffee first in the cocktail. Simple glass build of equal parts and you’re ready for an evening chilling out. Once my Mr Black goes dry, this cocktail might no longer be a standard, but for now it makes the list.
Cheers!
