EL SERIO
February 16, 2010
in honor of my good friend Alex, and her Panamanian souvenir, I have crafted a new drink called “El Serio.” As I have mentioned several times, I infused Seco (sort of Panamanian rum) with some Panamanian coffee beans. I’ve been looking for a use for it for a few weeks now. Finally that use has become apparent.
Translated as “the serious one,” or atleast I think, El Serio is a twist on a class of cocktails called flips. This one features my coffee bean infused Seco (approximately 4oz), cinnamon-spice simple syrup (sugar, water, cinnamon, ginger and a touch of cayenne pepper) and one whole egg. The key is to shake the drink dry vigorously for a minute or two and then briefly with ice. Strain and serve up.
Enjoy!
