The Basement Milk Cocktail

Courtesy The Tschuggen Grand Hotel, Arosa, Switzerland.

For fans of classic Alpine mountain backdrops, look to the resort towns of St. Moritz and Arosa, where the Tschuggen Grand Hotel is located.

In Tschuggen’s rec room-like basement lounge (hence the drink name), this fortifying nightcap evokes the feeling of a sweetened glass of milk with an adult twist. It’s even served in a small glass-milk bottle, enlivened by a red-and-white striped straw.

Ingredients

1½ ounces aged rum
1½ ounces Frangelico liqueur
¾ ounce Calvados (apple brandy)
¾ ounce lime juice
¾ ounce vanilla extract
1½ ounces cream
3 ounces apple juice

Directions

In cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine all ingredients. Shake well, then strain into glass milk bottle or Collins glass. Serve with colorful straw.
