Orange & Black Attack

Day 249

Orange & Black Attack

3.5 shots out of 5

My SF Giants are on in 7 minutes.  It's Game 6 and I can't stand how excited I am to watch the game.  I decided to make and dedicate tonight's cocktail to them.  I have total faith in my Giants and am looking forward to sitting in front of the TV with beer in hand and cheering them on.

I gave tonight's cocktail 3.5 shots out of 5.  This is a self invented cocktail with the (almost) black and orange colors to represent my Giants!  I was really trying to make it look as black and orange as I could and since I still can't find that darn black vodka, I decided to use Kahlua which is the next closest color I had.  The Grand Marnier is the most orange liqueur I have as well.  Surprisingly this shooter isn't too bad.  You get the bite from the cognac in the Grand Marnier, followed by the orange flavoring in it.  Then when you think you've tasted it all, the coffee flavoring from the Kahula kicks in for a nice after taste.  All in all, not a bad shooter!

Here is my recipe for an Orange & Black Attack:

• 1/2 oz Kahlua
• 1/2 oz Grand Marnier

In a shot glass pour in your Kahlua.  Next layer the Grand Marnier on top of the Kahlua by slowly pouring it on the back of a spoon above the Kahlua to make a nice layer.
