Shhhh & Prince Alexander

The party vibe has dwindled, everyone is fast asleep, but you feel well dressed, alive and sexy. Now it's just the two of you, ready for a slow jam and a nice cocktail to bring you even closer together. You drop the needle on your favorite Prince album, squeak the cork off the cognac and light the candles. The sweltering chemistry in the room will be impossible to interrupt, making for the ideal 'Gold Experience'. Heavy breathing, touching and sipping ensue without hesitation. The cocktail sweats in a curvy, bulbous glass and the crackles from the vinyl act as fireworks in the surreal, dreamy background. Wailing guitar, floaty vocals and a steady rhythm section coax you further into this indulgent sensual seduction.

Prince Alexander

Deep ruby color of Port, sultry taste of Cognac, robust flavors of Chai and Earl Grey and the lingering sweetness of Vanilla bean and cream forge an experience unlike any other... One to remember... It coats... It stays with you... You won't ever want to interrupt the flow and will always be wanting more. A perfect sensual delight with many layers and a legacy of flavor that whispers music in your ear that will rock your world. When sipped it will break it on down into your private affair of captivating melodies from your wildest dreams. 

Ingredients:
1.5 oz Cognac
.75 oz Ruby Port
.75 oz vanilla bean chai tea infused honey syrup*
1 oz cream
Garnish with nutmeg

*Honey Syrup infusion
Steep 4 tea bags of vanilla bean chai tea in 6 ounces of hot water for 15 min. Discard tea bags. Pour 6 ounces of honey into the warm tea and stir until honey is dissolved.

Method:
Pour Cognac, Ruby Port and honey syrup into a shaker. Add ice. Shake (or thrust) and strain into a coupe or snifter. In a clean shaker add 1 oz cream. Put the spring from your hawthorne strainer into the shaker and procreatively shake. Strain cream over the back of a spoon on top of the cocktail. Garnish with nutmeg.

Here's to the late and great Prince. Your music will always influence the music of this world to come.

You are missed. 

Cheers!
