Saskatoon Coffee, Black Russian Cocktail Variation

Saskatoon Coffee, Black Russian Cocktail Variation

For this Black Russian coffee cocktail variation we are slightly modifying the original recipe.  The original recipe is a very simple 2 ingredient cocktail of vodka and coffee liqueur.  The type of coffee liqueur normally used is essentially rum mixed with sugar and concentrated arabica coffee.  As a Saskatoon founded company, we decided to modify the recipe utilizing local Saskatchewan ingredients including our liberica coffee.  We are instead replacing the coffee liqueur with our iced Saskatoon coffee plus a premium rum, local honey or simple syrup as a sweetener.  As well we have particularly chosen a local Saskatchewan made product Deuce Vodka to finalize the ingredient list.

Black Russian Recipe

2 oz chilled espresso

1 1/2 oz Rum

1 1/2 oz Vodka

1/2 oz honey syrup, simple syrup, demerara sugar/syrup

This is a very simple recipe that involves limited preparation and ingredients.  If you do not have an espresso machine, replace with a strong concentrated brew of coffee.  Optional to pre-chill your espresso to limit any melt dilution with ice.  Shake ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice.  Pour into your highball glass that is filled with ice.

This is an easy recipe to adapt per your personal preference.  If you prefer to have a sweeter or less boozy drink, simply add more sugar and coffee.
