Ingredients

  • 10 to 12 coffee beans
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped
  • 2 ounces Pyrat Rum XO Reserve (or bourbon)
  • 3 tablespoons half and half

Instructions

  1. Crush the coffee beans using a mortar and pestle or a heavy skillet on a cutting board.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water, and simmer over medium-high heat until the sugar is dissolved. Add the seeds from the vanilla bean and whisk to break them up. Let the vanilla simple syrup cool.
  3. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, then add the crushed coffee beans, 1 tablespoon of the vanilla simple syrup, the rum, and half-and-half. Shake well until chilled, for at least 30 seconds.
  4. Place a fine mesh strainer over a chilled martini glass.
  5. Pour the drink through the strainer, discarding the coffee beans, and serve chilled.
