1.5oz "Russian Tiger Liquor" (see previous blog post for description)
4oz freshly brewed coffee
2oz half and half
2 egg whites
Combine all ingredients in ice-filled shaker and shake vigorously. Strain into an old-fashioned cocktail glass.
This drink started with just coffee and Russian Tiger Liquor, which I was hoping to treat as Kahlua. Unfortunately, RTL was far too overpowering in the drink, even with the addition of half and half. I decided to ice the drink, and to add egg whites to mellow out the taste without adding saccharine sweetness to it. One egg white would have suited the drink fine, but as I needed two egg yolks for my dinner recipe, I slipped the second white into the drink as well. The result was really pretty delicious; it was like a nutty-flavored iced coffee with cream. Yum!
