Uden Overdose XerJoff 2018

And that's supposed to taste good? Strange mixture, I thought to myself. But well, pineapple on pizza tastes good too.
(He didn't say that...!)
Besides, the Cafè Xerjoff is known for its sometimes unusual specialties.
It certainly looks interesting how it is served: the individual layers of ingredients are not completely mixed. There's no spoon, you're supposed to sip your way through the individual layers.
I look around uncertainly. Some of the other visitors are enjoying opulent cocktails with all kinds of ripe fruit, others have ice-cold drinks with mint sprigs and lemon slices in front of them.
The drink of my choice seems rather inconspicuous, but perhaps I should try it first before judging.
I sip carefully from the thin top layer and immediately taste a refreshing, tart mixture of citrus fruits and a hint of ginger.
Wow! I smack my lips a few times to dissect the ingredients on my tongue. No sugar for miles, no sweetness at all. Really delicious.
The next sip leads me to the actual main part of my order - a surprisingly well-balanced blend of ginger and black coffee, with a low concentration of citrus fruits and - at least that's what it says on the menu - tobacco blossom. I wouldn't have ordered it if I could have mixed the ingredients myself, but it works brilliantly (see the pineapple on the pizza...) The delicious and clearly perceptible coffee makes the drink a pleasure not only in the height of summer. Spring, fall, office, evening - I could order this anytime.
Then comes the crema at the bottom. Huh? At the bottom?
I don't know how they did it, but the more I sip with relish, the more the brew is rounded off by soft, creamy musk and amber. Nice and smooth.
I lean back contentedly and enjoy my drink, but then choke hard when I'm served the bill. It's almost cheeky for such a small (but still very pretty) glass.
But well, you don't treat yourself to a treat like this every day.
Tomorrow we'll just have Tk pizza again, you know what kind.
