Start Me Up

Start Me Up
Jamaica gave the Stones plenty in 1972. Rum, sugar, and Blue Mountain coffee fuelled their Goats Head Soup sessions at Dynamic Sound Studios. Years later, Start Me Up, first jammed as a reggae groove, became their ultimate spark, opening shows from the Tattoo You tour onward. Like the track, this cocktail hits hard and smooth, built to wake the senses and light the fuse.

• 1 oz cold espresso coffee
• 1 oz coffee liqueur
• ½ oz brown sugar syrup

Method:
