What is the bartender tip for a High Functioning?
A coffee Moscow mule, in a rocks glass. Cabra Lab is the liqueur in the video; Kahlúa is sweeter and fights the ginger. Spiced rum; white rum tastes thin and loses the spice. Pineapple juice, not syrup. The description says ginger soda: in a mule that is ginger beer, not ginger ale (you lose the heat) and not fresh ginger. The fizz goes in last, after the light stir. Two twists: lime and lemon. It is not the Moscow Mule (vodka, no coffee), the El Diablo (tequila, cassis, and ginger beer), or the Espresso Martini (vodka and coffee, shaken, up).
