When it comes to layering, there is no better example than a Pousse-Cafe cocktail. It might be old school technique, but the layering is as fresh as the latest Tik Tok trend. Laughing Man is my favorite local coffee shop and a Black and Tan is my favorite go to casual drink. This cocktail is a mash up of the two.
