My friend gave me a lovely bottle of coffee liqueur from a producer out of Vancouver. We gave this cocktail a try last night and we both thought it was fantastic. Found something else for which to use that Cherry Herring. I'm not a huge fan of Blood and Sand. I may experiment with an addition of some Benedictine.

A cocktails of this name appeared in the series Black Mirror. The episode was Hotel Reverie. In the series the cocktail appears clear and a poison was added.
As far as the real Black Rose presented here I think it is excellent.

Very close to a Lemon Drop. Regardless both recipes are a hit. I use Mandarin Napoleon orange liqueur.

This is not a cocktail I want every day but when I shake one up I always love. Bartenders tend to change things up slightly on a classic cocktail, give it a different name, and pat themselves on the back for being such brilliant mixologist. But this one is like nothing else. I’m glad I’m reasonably well stocked with Chartreuse, for now. Oh and speaking of changing things up slightly, the Chefs Kiss cocktail is also great.
