Well, that does it.
The patio furniture is getting frosty in the mornings, the cover has been slipped over the pool, and Tiki T. is retiring lemony summer drinks in favor of headier holiday fare.
Usually I give you recipes that can be consumed all night. Not so with the following one. In fact, I suggest making this in a small glass custard cup or petite champagne glass to enjoy as a sweet nip, lest you move your mambo-fest into the bathroom.
The "Vaina" is a Chilean cocktail, regarded as a rich indulgence in the "nog" family. The marriage of yolk, cocoa and brandy goes straight to your hips, but so do these Latin rhythms, so go nuts!
Shake vigorously 1 egg yolk with your choice of brandy or port wine, 1 egg white, splash of heavy cream, and a generous pinch of high grade cocoa powder. Garnish with a cinnamon stick and more cocoa.
I don't know if I would recommend this for a "date night", given possible gastric catastrophe, but if you're home alone in sweatpants, drink up muchacho!
XO,
Tiki T.
