drinking like an author: dashiell hammett edition

To mark the 75th anniversary of The Maltese Falcon movie, Cinemark held special screenings of the noir film. Nick and I made a few of these drinks to stash in our trench coats and sneak into the theater.

The Malted Falcon--

Quote: "Slam with suspicion, 'cause this one goes down as gritty and unsentimental as any good private eye."

Ingredients:
Malt liquor
Butterscotch liqueur

Steps:
Buy the book
Make the drink

Review:
This drink reminded me a lot of barley wine, which is to say that it is kind of like drinking alcoholic maple syrup. I liked it, but it is definitely not for everyone. I also recommend that you don't "slam with suspicion", this is more of a "sip with skepticism" situation.





much love,
