Before heading out to dinner the other night I decided to make a quick after work/pre-dinner drink for the wife and I. Knowing that I needed to clear out some space in the liquor cabinet, I checked the ol’ fluid levels of the bottles and formulated this drink on the spot. You can’t go wrong with the orange and coffee liqueur combo. I decided to throw in vanilla-infused vodka since that is complimentary to both flavors. It turned out very satisfying. The drink is a little heavy handed since there’s not a non-alcoholic mixer in the recipe. But that’s okay. The vanilla and orange is a nice, citrusy, sweet taste and the coffee flavor adds a little sophistication. So why the name? Because it cracks me up…I don’t even know what it means! I’ve just been waiting to concoct a drink that I can call this name.
The Nasty Butler is:
1 1/2 oz. Stoli Vanilla Vodka
3/4 oz. Orange Liqueur or Cointreau
3/4 oz. Kahlua
Combine ingredients in a cocktail shaker and shake with ice. Then pour into a chilled cocktail glass. Voila!
Nasty Butler cannot be a drink. John Malkovich, maybe, but Not Nasty Butler.
Oh the Nasty Butler can be, and is, a drink. And you’re right John Malkovich makes a good name too…
