Caffiend: Black-Eyed Duce

The Black-Eyed Duce is a shot of espresso in cola, with cream added. Because he's a true soda jerk, Guarino used soda from the fountain hose. He also took care to perfectly blend the espresso and coke. When he handed us our Black-Eyed Duce's, we delighted at the smooth, crisp flavor (it was like a delicious but subtle coffee soda), and quickly chugged the tasty concoction.

Guarino says he also makes a Black-Eyed Duce Squared, which is a Black-Eyed Duce with an energy drink base (Taurine, Guarana, B Vitamins, etc.) added. That sounds like a great wake-up drink for the future, but the regular Black-Eyed Duce was all we could handle for one day. After chugging it down, we were almost bouncing off the walls for a solid two hours, cleaning, cooking, and Internet shopping. What a great way to start one's day.
