Santiago Slush

Posted on by The Olive Oil Hunter

Olive oil, especially one with a sweeter flavor profile, pairs well with creamy ingredients like cream of coconut. Pineapple juice gives the cocktail zing, and a single leaf of fresh basil adds an herbal grace note. Very refreshing on a warm day! Garnish with a fresh pineapple spear, if desired.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, preferably mild
  • 2 tablespoons sweetened cream of coconut, such as Coco Real or Coco Lopez
  • 1.5 ounces rum
  • 5 ounces pineapple juice
  • 1 fresh basil leaf
  • 2 ice cubes

Directions

Combine all the ingredients in the jar of a blender and mix on high until combined and frothy. Pour into a Spanish chato or other short glass. Garnish, if desired, with a sprig of basil.

Makes 1 drink, but can be multiplied as desired

  • 1 Master Foam recipe 
  • Cinnamon to taste (optional)

Directions

Pour the coffee into a low cup and top with Master Foam. If desired, sprinkle with cinnamon.

Luscious Latte

Posted on by The Olive Oil Hunter

If you like a little coffee in your milk (rather than a little milk in your coffee), this one’s for you.

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces or shots of espresso or strong coffee
  • Sweetener as desired
  • 6 ounces hot milk
  • 1 Master Foam recipe 
  • Cinnamon or unsweetened cocoa to taste (optional)

Directions

Pour the coffee into a 12-ounce cup and whisk in any sweetener. Add the hot milk and whisk lightly. Top with the Master Foam. If desired, sprinkle with cinnamon or cocoa.

Variation: For a mochaccino-style drink, whisk 2 tablespoons of natural cocoa powder into a small amount of the hot milk; when incorporated, add it along with the rest of the milk to the coffee and proceed with the rest of the directions.
