Esky's Hot Spot

According to Esquire, in 1935, a few authors asked writers famous in that era to submit a favorite cocktail for a book titled, "So Red the Nose, or Breath in the Afternoon." Arnold Gingrich, Esquire's founder, came up with that drink as a nice way to stay warm in Chicago, where he was based.

Ingredients:

1 1/4 cups vodka

1 1/4 cups coffee liqueur

1 1/4 cups heavy cream

Instructions:

Stir together in a pitcher. Pour into ice-filled glasses.

Yeah, it's that easy.
