Ash Lollipop? Poste Brasserie's Amsterdam Coffeehouse Cocktail Features Oddest Adornment Yet

Cocktail connoisseurs, check this one out:

Meet Poste Brasserie's Amsterdam Coffeehouse, a potent blend of "Bol's genever, Lilet Blanc, Chateau Haut-Bergeron Sauternes, Luxardo amaretto, lemon bitters, mesquite smoked Calvados" -- topped with a lemon ash lollipop.

Yes, ash.

How does that work?

"I peel lemons and take the rinds and put them into the oven until they turn a dark brown," head bartender Jason Wiles explains. "After that I put the lemon peels in a coffee grinder and this makes the ‘lemon ash.’ From there I cook up a quick caramel and sprinkle the ash in, and shape them into flames.”

A rep from Poste says the $17, one-of-a-kind cocktail won Wiles a spot in an international Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants competition.

On its website, Poste shares a recipe to make your own Amsterdam Coffeehouse at home:
