Pursued a variety of topics today, none of which quite panned out for immediate publication. So in lieu of that, you're getting some drink recipes I took from this big survey of Japanese bartenders & baristas I was helping to translate a while back.
Kahlua milk: 90 mL of milk, 30 mL of Kahlua, and a little cinnamon sugar. There're 15 mL in a tablespoon and 60 mL in a 1/4 cup. Just remember it's 3:1 on milk to Kahlua, and you're good. I've tried this, and it actually muted the alcohol enough where I was able to enjoy the taste of the Kahlua, which is a glowing endorsement from me.
Forêt Noire: Add chocolate syrup to coffee to taste, then top with lots of whipped cream, shaved chocolate, cherry syrup, and a cherry marinated in Western liqueur. It's evident that this's all topping, but it'll look nice. (I don't know how you get a cherry marinated in "Western liqueur"; just go with a maraschino cherry.)
Unnamed recipes with measurements & proportions unspecified:
- Kahlua + black coffee
- black tea + orange + ginger ale (not sure if the "orange" means orange flavoring or actual orange or what; I suspect, given the nature of the survey, that it 's referring to Torani syrup)
- coffee gelatin + orange flavoring (the "coffee gelatin" thing apparently refers to a popular drink in Japan that - well, is not for me, but perhaps you can work the coffee + orange combo to your advantage elsewhere)
- caramel macchiato + cheesecake flavoring
