The John Wayne
June 30, 2012 Posted by Chris Tingom Filed under Scottsdale
Whenever a coffee shop has a ‘house drink’ or a ‘drink of the month’ I just have to try it. So when I saw “The John Wayne” on the chalkboard at Village Coffee this morning I asked about it. They said it was two shots of espresso, vanilla, and cream.
Why not? Simply stated, the vanilla was a little bit strong, and there was a lot of it (you can see it at the bottom of the cup). The layers are: Vanilla on the bottom, cream in the middle, and espresso on the top. However, for a sweet drink with a punch, it was really good!

As the guy who invented, or at least this version I hope everyone goes down there and tries it. It’s the John Wayne. John Wayne is awesome and I made a drink to match the man.
Victor says:
Looks very interesting. Does the vanilla come from a ground bean (or pod), or is it crushed?.

We do something similar but call it a “Shooter”. Layered and drank in one sip. It became kind of a bonding experience among a few of our regulars.

I remember learning a similar recipe from Gianni while working at OSP. We called it the 5 dollar shot.

I make a drink just like that but with a shot of 20 year old rum. I call it a sin, or ron con ron.
