Some weeks we could all use a little assist from a superhero. Even more so, it seems, during the long cold month of January.
When She Who Must Be Obeyed and I saw these on the featured menu at a favorite establishment recently, it was one of those weeks and to make a long story short, I couldn’t resist trying one.
SWMBO, being a bona fide coffee fanatic, thought this was a great cocktail, as did I, though after one sip she opened the can of worms “is Batman really a superhero?…”
Unbeknownst to she and I, there have been (apparently) serious arguments over Bruce Wayne’s and Batman’s superhero status for decades (17.4 million google results on search today).
Go figure. And I thought Kirk Deeter’s recent fore-planned, experimental assault on ‘fishing the bobber’ invoked spittle-flinging invective.
Just as with the bobber kerfuffle, we’re content to plug right along and continue to not give a damn about social media opinions regarding Bruce Wayne too. For the record, even without “amazing powers”, Batman for decades has performed feats beyond the ability of we mere mortals. He’s a superhero.
As for The Bruce Wayne cocktail, if you’ve not ventured there, you should.
4.5 ounces black iced coffee
2 ounces bourbon
1/4 to 1/2 ounce good maple syrup
Combine the ingredients in an ice-filled cocktail shaker; shake like crazy until chilled and foamy.
Strain into glass over ice.
Enjoy.
