Christmas Fir

Grandma's Coughdrop with gin under it instead of whiskey. The juniper turns the whole thing pine-and-berry, which is where the name came from.

Method

  1. Pour the gin into a shot glass.
  2. Add the coffee liqueur. Kahlúa is what the original was built on, and any coffee liqueur does the same work.
  3. Drop the grenadine in on top and drink it in one. Four drops is the whole measure — against gin it reads as berry rather than as sweetness.
