The Tippler: Toussaint
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Toussaint is a coffee liqueur originating in Haiti and named after the black slave hero, Toussaint L'Ouverture. If you find Tia Maria or Kahlua too sweet for your taste, but you're after an after-dinner coffee liqueur, Toussaint (about £14.95, Waitrose, Harrods, Selfridges) is the espresso of the genre. Drink it neat with ice as a wind-down cocktail or add lime or rum for cocktails. The Napoléon Noir, a blend of one-third cognac or brandy to two-thirds Toussaint, is a sado-masochistic blend which both comforts and bites back. Alternatively, revive flagging dinner-party conversation by adding a shot of Toussaint to your coffee, or drizzle a tablespoonful of double cream on top of Toussaint for the ultimate in decadent, warming Irish coffee.
