ABOUT
This is one of my favorite old fashioned riffs. This cocktail was created by David Kinsey for Kindred (San Diego, CA). The name derives from the Greek Goddess and river of the underworld. The dark flavors of chocolate and coffee work so well with the richness of bourbon and allspice. Cheers y’all!
