What inspired you to create this cocktail? “Sasha Petraske’s La Dominicana cocktail was the inspiration for my cocktail. I think it’s the perfect nightcap because it is boozy, while also being rich and creamy.”

When would you serve this drink? “I definitely think this is an after-dinner or end of the night kind of drink.”

What music would you pair it with? “Jazz”. 

What food would you pair it with? “Either a nice dark chocolate or a nutty gelato, like pistachio or pine nut.”

Name the person (dead or alive) you’d like to make this cocktail for. “My mother.”
