Yellowstone Espresso Rtd

Yellowstone Espresso RTD is a canned espresso drink, and the name and category point to a coffee-forward, pre-mixed cocktail. The listing doesn't give an ABV, a flavor breakdown or a spirit base, so check the can for those. Drinks in this style usually pair a roasted coffee flavor with a touch of sweetness and a creamy or smooth finish. Expect bitter-roasted notes up front, with something close to cocoa or caramel behind them. The exact balance depends on how this one is made. The can is ready to pour, so there's no shaking, no syrup and no coffee machine. That is the main reason to buy a canned espresso drink over assembling the same thing at home. Tear the tab and it's ready, which suits a tailgate, a camp or cabin kitchen, or a late-evening drink when you don't want to pull out a shaker and a bottle of coffee liqueur. Chill it thoroughly before opening. Coffee-based drinks taste flatter and heavier when served warm, and cold mutes any sweetness that might otherwise seem syrupy. To serve it in a glass, fill a rocks glass with ice, pour the can over it and give it a gentle stir. A tall highball glass with plenty of ice gives a longer, more diluted drink. Drinking straight from the can works fine for casual settings, and it's the easiest way to take it on a trip. Shake the can gently before opening only if the label tells you to, since some creamy formulations settle. For pairings, coffee-style drinks usually go well with desserts and snacks: chocolate brownies, biscotti, shortbread, vanilla ice cream or a slice of cheesecake. They also work as an after-dinner drink that stands in for a separate coffee and dessert pour. If you're stocking a cooler for a group, a few cans of this next to lighter fruit-based canned drinks give guests a darker, richer option.
