I wasn't really sure if this cocktail was going to work but it does. I haven't been able to sleep and while most people would get up and perform their normal occupational or familial obligations and move on in life, I can't and stay awake thinking about absolute nonsense. One night I was thinking, what would a Cyberpunk 2077 cocktail taste like? I came up with one and tried a few variations, with my wife being the acid test, and it turned out pretty fucking good.
Recipe
- 2 tbsp. Libby's 100% Pure Pumpkin
- 1 espresso, please and thank you
- Sugar to taste (1-2 tsp.)
- 1 1/2 oz Tullamore Dew Irish Whiskey
- Top with Cream, aerated by shaking
- Boil water and warm your glass
- In mason or similar glass jar, shake cream to aerate 2-3 minutes and stick in freezer to ensure it's cold
- Assemble ingredients in tin, sans cream, and shake (it's hot, so hold on tight for expansion)
- Top with cold, aerated, cream
- Garnish with freshly grated nutmeg
This is just a twist on an irish coffee but it worked out better than I could have hoped. I am taking off work for Cyberpunk 2077's release and I can count on one hand the videos games I've taken off work/school for: Starcraft, Rollercoaster Tycoon (yep), Half-Life 2, Far Cry 3, and Cyberpunk 2077. Cheers.
