Coffee, Wine, & Spirits
The European – $4.50
Espresso, sambuca, half n half.
Napoleon’s Last Request – $4
Double espresso, orange liqueur, fresh orange twist. Napoleon Bonaparte–say what you will about the man. He was a despot, an egotistical tyrant, a conqueror of nations, and a lover of beautiful women. He lived a full life. When he died in exile, on the island of St. Helena, what do you suppose was his last request?
The Neopolitan – $5
Espresso, sylk, godiva white chocolate liqueur, chocolate and raspberry syrups, half n half. It’s very cosmopolitan in a metropolitan kind of way– then again, did you eat the strawberry or the chocolate stripe out of the carton as you stood in front of the freezer at two in the a.m.?
Lady Godiva – $5
Espresso, godiva white chocolate liqueur, half n half. Luscious. A romance novel in liquid form.
When In Rome – $5
Espresso, sylk, half n half. In her quest for veritae, Becky Lou Brown found herself in a most fortunate place–Florence, Italy. At a small, crowded outdoor café, as Becky fumbled for a place to sit, she was invited to join a table of (as Becky tells it), five of Italy’s greatest thinkers. With just a small command of her own language, Becky could only just take in the cacophony of this brilliant Italian repartee. That was, until she was presented with this stimulating drink. Today, Becky teaches philosophy at the University of Florence.
Cleo’s Closer – $5
Espresso, sylk, cherry, blueberry and chocolate syrups, half n half, whipped cream. In an attempt to seduce Mark Anthony, Cleopatra prepared a romantic dinner. She covered the floor with rose petals, filled the room with candles. She served a menu of all things “aphrodisiac”. Although impressed with such a lavish production, it was at evening’s end, when Cleo served this delightful concoction that Mark Anthony swooned.
The Tourist – $5
Espresso, your choice of frangelico, bailey’s, kahlua, amaretto or godiva chocolate liqueur, with half n half.
Da Vinci’s Muse – $5
Espresso, buttershots, frangelico, half n half. With the earthiness of rich spices running around naked in the cup—why do you think Mona was smiling?
The Triumvirate – $5
Espresso, bailey’s, crème de menthe, kahlua, spiced chocolate, half n half. This is not a joke. A Mexican, an Irishman and a Frenchman walked into a very busy Italian bistro. They proceeded to order what each described as their own country’s finest coffee libation. Too busy to accommodate the attention to detail each drink required, the barista mingled three as one. The result is this minty potation. A triumvirate staple. You decide.
The Golden Ratio – $5
Espresso, goldschlager, frangelico, honey and half n half. From the spiral of a nautilus shell, to the glorious circle of friends and acquaintances…the golden ratio is the perfect mathematical expression of life. Drink it in!
