About the recipe
Many of the best cocktails are made with ingredients that are tried and true for drinks but otherwise largely ignored. Take molasses, for example. That jar of rich, dark syrup sitting in the back of your cabinet is just begging to be used. While gingersnap cookies and baked beans are two great ways to let your molasses see the light of day, it can also add a unique, smoky undertone to a stiff drink, such as this Two-Boil flip, which combines bourbon, coffeel liqueur and a whole egg for a luxuriously rich holiday cocktail.
To dilute the molasses, pour equal parts molasses and water into a measuring cup, and stir to combine.
