Day 14
Hot Apres:
1 1/2 oz Mountain Mint
1 1/2 oz Coffee Liqueur

Day 15
Vietnamese Coffee:
Vietnamese coffee utilizes one of our favorite coffee brewing devices called a “phin”. Introduced by French colonialists in the 1800’s, it is composed of four stainless steel parts: a plate, body, press disk and lid. A traditional Vietnamese coffee uses an indulgent amount of condensed milk with the brewed coffee released on top and mixed. Adding ice makes for an amazing and refreshing cold drink as well. Those with a sweet tooth will love this drink!

Chambord de Cafe:
1 oz Coffee Liqueur
1 oz Chambord
