On my list of life long goals there is the create my own drink. I have been thinking about this today and I feel that I should try to accomplish it in the next few weeks.
I have gone about things in an unconventional way. I have already decided on a name for my drink; Billy the Kid. Unfortunately, after a quick google search I found that this drink already exists. Bourbon, Tia Maria (coffee liqueur), Licor 43 (Spanish liqueur from citrus juices), and coke. I've also decided that since I've never heard of this drink or anyone ever ordering one that I can hijack the name. I am going to try a few different alterations to the original Billy the Kid drink to make it more like this Billy the Kid.
My first idea is to scrap the citrus liqueur and replace with a spicy chili liqueur or schnapps. I'm thinking that the bourbon, coffee and chili mixture might just work. The one downside of this drink is that it not all bars have these ingredients and therefore it will be difficult for Billy the Kid to go completely mainstream. So if Billy the Kid doesn't knock my socks off the first time I might have to start over from scratch using more readily available ingredients.
I will update when I stop by the liquor store for the coffee and chili liqueurs.
