After several failed attempts, I have concocted a drink in honor of the Gulf oil well disaster. This is not a celebratory cocktail, although the flow has currently been stopped. But with massive amounts of oil and dispersants still swirling around out there, this is the kind of drink that you drink because things are really, really bad.
It’s strong and sweet. The egg whites give it a frothy texture, and a faintly off odor. And it leaves a scum behind.
The BP
1 shot gold rum
½ shot Kahlua
White of an egg, or 2 tablespoons pasteurized egg whites
Combine with ice in a shaker. Shake thoroughly, strain, top with unsweetened cocoa powder.
