Soundtrack my Friend’s Drink – STS
It is volume number 11 of Soundtrack my Friend’s Drink! This time Adam chose a partner who picked a song for us. While my song chosen by Shelby Mastro was not exactly what I like to hear, I still came up with a tasty drink for it.
The song “Save that S***” by Lil Peep is not the kind of hip hop I am into. However, there is nothing wrong with leaving the comfort zone a bit. Since there is a lot of swearing in the song, I remembered Jamie Boudreau’s WTF? Cocktail. So, I based my drink the “STS” on his and was ready to go.
Cognac, Bonal and cacao
Instead of Tennessee Whisky as in the original, I went with cognac. It is a hip hop song after all. Yet, I used the Camus Ile de Re, because it is a bit rough around the edges which seemed fitting. I kept the Bonal and the crème de cacao and just replaced the Jägermeister with Fernet.
1,5 cl Bonal Gentiane Quina
0,75 cl Tempus Fugit Creme de Cacao
0,75 cl Luxardo Fernet
Garnish:Lemon Coin; Song: Lil Peep – Save that S***;
The “STS” starts off with a complex mix of cognac, gentian root and Fernet flavours. There a quite some bitter notes going on, but the cognac and the crème de cacao greatly balance it out.
