Bag of Feelth
I love pastis, especially in summertime, but as a mixer they're a royal pain in the ass because their strong licorice flavor overwhelms practically everything. I finally found something that balances it out, coffee liqueur, and the combination is a lot tastier than you might think. The Bag of Filth is supposedly the New Zealand firefighter's drink of choice, hence the Maori mask in the photo.
1 oz. Pastis (I used Ricard)
1 oz. Coffee Liqueur (I used Patrón XO Cafe)
Fill glass with crushed ice. Pour liqueurs into glass. Pour all ingredients into a cocktail shaker and give it a rapid 3 second shake. Pour the contents back into glass. Garnish with rosemary sprigs.
