68. Café au Kirsch Cocktail


My interpretation:
  1 oz Clear Creek Cherry Brandy
  1 oz Remy Martin VSOP
  1 Vital Farms pasteurized egg white
  1 oz Portland Brew Columbian roast coffee, ice-brewed (roasted by Summit Coffee Co.)

Frappé, or shake well with finely crushed ice until frost forms on shaker, about 20-30 seconds. Strain into goblet sufficient to hold 4–5 oz. drink so that no ice chips mar the egg-white head; serve. — This classic drink, a cocktail in name only, appears in JM 1916 following the same recipe as Straub 1914, which notably lacks sugar. It may be that Straub meant cherry cordial instead of Kirschwasser; Cherry Heering in fact works wonderfully here but makes for an entirely different drink. Preferably, if the customer desires, dissolve 1 tsp sugar in coffee before mixing.
