From the Bartender

An American bar-trick drink from the 1980s. The straw is not decoration: sip it normally and the layers collapse into a weak Black Russian instead of delivering the intended sequence.

Colorado Bulldog

Vodka

Colorado Bulldog

Vanilla and caramel from the cola riding over cold cream, with the coffee liqueur underneath giving it a roasted spine — sweet, foamy and far more drinkable than the ingredient list suggests.

Seven and Seven

Canadian Blended Whisky

Seven and Seven

Light, sweet and citric, with the whisky's soft grain sitting just far enough forward to remind you it is there — undemanding by design.

Black Magic

Vodka

Black Magic

Roasted coffee sweetness pulled taut by the lemon, which stops the liqueur coating the mouth the way it does in a Black Russian and leaves the finish clean.

Presbyterian

Bourbon Whiskey

Presbyterian

Half the sweetness of a whiskey-ginger with all of the spice, the soda thinning it into something genuinely refreshing rather than merely mixed.
