A Shot in the Dark

The bartender here at the L'Etoile liked to talk about café corretto--or "corrrected coffee"--that is, coffee with liquor added. WIth the help of the baristas at Barrique's, I learned just how good a late night espresso can be with a little correction.

The "Irish Espresso," as we'll call it, starts with a perfectly extracted shot of espresso (thanks, Ed), and ends with a pour of Jameson Whiskey... A perfect way to start a night on the town.
