Even though my house is not technically or legally a bar, I do quite a bit of experimenting with drinks there. I am finding out that I am becoming a bit of an alcohol dork, whether it be making my own liqueurs or studying bartending books from the 1930’s. In fact, one of my goals in life is to build a full bar with every kind of spirit within reach. Until then I’ll work with what I’ve got. So today I have a very simple cocktail recipe; something I’m calling The Candy bar Car bomb. From the name I’m sure you readers know what’s about to go down.
You’ll need:
A bottle of Lancaster Brewing Company’s Milk Stout
2 oz of Crème de Cacao
Pint glass and shot glass
Pour the Milk Stout into the pint glass, and the Crème de Cacao into the shot glass. Drop the whole shot glass into the beer and chug!! When you are finished you begin to realize, you’ve just had one of the most delicious drinks maybe ever! With a 5.3% ABV in the Lancaster Milk Stout and a 17% ABV in Crème de Cacao this tasty treat packs a punch. So line up a few Candy bar Car bomb’s, and stay bubbly Philadelphia!
