Whip's Wake

An ounce of rum with half an ounce of espresso on it, drunk in one. Somewhere between a nightcap and the thing that undoes a nightcap.

Tools

Contains caffeineCaffeine does not make you less drunk, it makes you feel less drunk — the impairment is the same and only your read on it changes. Judge this one by what went into the glass rather than by how alert you feel, and give it the same distance from bedtime you would give a coffee.

Method

  1. Pull the espresso and give it a moment to come off the boil. This is a shot, and a scalding one is a bad idea.
  2. Pour the rum into a shot glass and the espresso straight onto it.
  3. Drink it in one, while the crema is still on top.
