mr black – The Runaway Anchor

This original cocktail is inspired by a local coffee shop in Fridley, Minnesota. The signature flavor is a mix of vanilla, hazelnut, and banana. So, we took those elements and combined them with coffee and chocolate liqueurs to make this tasty dessert cocktail!

You can ramp the intensity up by adjusting the hazelnut and banana down a half ounce. And you can adjust the cream to your specific choice, though heavy cream will give you the thickest, richest version.

We hope you enjoy this dessert option on the Runaway Anchor menu. Go bananas!!!

Cheers!

The Story

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.

Cheers!

2oz Cream (heavy cream is great!)

Add cream over the ice (over up-turned spoon if you want to be fancy)
