History & Origin

Named for its remarkable resemblance to the flavor of Tootsie Roll candy, this simple two-ingredient cocktail combines coffee liqueur with root beer. The coffee and chocolate notes of the liqueur meld with the root beer's vanilla and spice to create a candy-like experience. For a creamier variation, float 0.5oz heavy cream on top.
