Ingredients

Instructions

Combine the Ingredients:

  • In a wine glass filled with ice, add 1 1/2 oz of The Block Autumn gin. This gin, with its notes of cardamom and cinnamon, pairs beautifully with the coffee liqueur.
  • Add 1 oz of The Block coffee liqueur. The coffee liqueur adds a rich, bitter note that complements the herbal and spicy flavors of the gin.

Top with Tonic Water:

  • Top off the mixture with 5 oz of Q tonic water. The tonic water adds a sweet tang that balances the bitterness of the coffee and the botanicals of the gin.

Stir Gently:

  • Stir the mixture gently to combine all the ingredients. This ensures a balanced flavor profile throughout the drink.

Garnish:

  • Garnish with 4 coffee beans and 1/4 tsp of cocoa nibs. These garnishes add an aromatic touch and a subtle hint of chocolate that enhances the overall flavor of the cocktail.
  • The Coffee & Cigarettes cocktail is smoky, sweet, warm, and herbal all at once, making it a perfect drink for cold weather. Enjoy this unique twist on the Gin & Tonic and savor the complex flavors with every sip.
