We've spent the last couple of years telling people that we don't like the traditional aquavit flavors of fennel and anise, but in some cases, those flavors are actually a positive addition for us. For coffee cocktails in particular, an anise component combines beautifully with the coffee and the aquavit base to create a wonderfully rich and luxurious dessert elixir.

Ingredients

In a shaker with ice combine:

• 2 oz. Batch 22
• .5 oz. Sambuca
• .75 oz. First Light Coffee Whiskey
• 1.5 oz. espresso, freshly brewed
• 3 dashes orange bitters
• 2 dashes chocolate bitters

Shake until well-chilled and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with coffee beans.
