Mindflayer no. 2
Sunday after supper whiskey sipper: Mindflayer no. 2 a coffee-licious whiskey drink!
We’ve seen countless reshakes and riffs on the espresso martini as of late. We’re pretty sure this drink is experiencing a true comeback/renaissance and we’re jealous of everyone with an espresso machine who is churning these out! Personally, we created a drink with a similar vibe in Halloween of 2018 for a series of drinks referencing Season 3 of Stranger Things. We made the drink again recently, only to find that it need a little rebalancing and some additional body. The result is this amazing Affogato homage that sits somewhere between a Revolver and a Manhattan but leans heavy on the coffee flavors.
