NIGHTCAP: Cocktail for cold winter nights!

It's actually snowing here in the San Francisco Bay Area. Quite a rarity. So to mark this momentous occasion, here’s a cocktail for cold winter nights (or days!) NIGHTCAP.

Thanks to Jessica Christensen for this cocktail recipe!

NIGHTCAP 

"Nightcap was created specifically as a dessert menu cocktail for the 630 Park Restaurant. I have always loved a boozy coffee cocktail, my mom used to make coffee with peppermint schnapps and Kahlua with creamer and whipped cream during the winter anytime we came over and visited. I always loved them, and it was always so comforting. Although hers were always extremely sweet, definitely a dessert in a cup! This one I wanted it to be sweet without losing the coffee flavor, and sophisticated enough to belong on a Steakhouse menu. This cocktail is a simple pour over, just adding each ingredient one after another, filling with coffee and topping it off with whipped cream and the chocolate shavings.”
