Lauren Mote’s Whisky and Stout Cocktail

An ice-cold, frothy brew.

In Lauren Mote’s book A Bartender’s Guide to the World, she shares with us her tales and recipes from years of travel. With her recipe for a cocktail she calls “Stout, Stout, Let It All Out” she transports us to a warm and welcoming Irish pub, which she feels you can find in almost any destination you reach. This beer cocktail has its origins in a boilermaker, where a shot of whisky and a pint of Stout are served side-by-side. Here, she blends them together and adds coffee, molasses, bitters and tonic, resulting in a an ice-cold and frothy brew.
