Case in point is this coffee-laced cocktail by Alan Berger of Denver’s Ultreia, which marries the bitterness of java with the sweet tang of tonic. Berger uses a Colorado gin, with its notes of cardamom and cinnamon, as well as coffee liqueur. The result is smoky, sweet, warm and herbal all at once—perfect for the cold weather.
