Drambuie! HOOOO-EEEE!

Well, it's time for some fall-ish drinks.  At this time of year, cocktails shift away from passion fruit as an ingredient and more into things like Tia Maria, Kahlua, cider--things that are warm rather than things designed to keep you cool while partying the night away.  Fall nights are less for partying and more for taking slow and enjoying.  A Sunday evening in the fall means dinner with the family, a football game, maybe a roll with honey in bed. 

The fall evenings make their way to the thick and cold of winter--not so far off now.  Sometimes the setting sun seems very warm on your face, when you know that winter is right around the corner.  The shooter below is a good one for a Sunday evening in the fall, at the bar, watching the Jets or the Giants.

It's called a Battlestar Galactica.  Actually, Battlestar Galactica was one of the first shows I remember watching on Sunday evenings with my Pops, in the late seventies;  it starred Dirk Benedict who later played Lt. Templeton Peck of the A-Team.  As a child, the Cylons fascinated me.

Here's a Battlestar Galactica shooter.

1/2 oz. demerara rum
1/2 oz coffee liqueur
1/2 oz. Drambuie Liqueur


Instructions
Mix in a shot glass

All right?  All right.  'Til next time, SEE YA!
