On March 12 of this year, Alfred Hitchcock would have turned 109 (as it was, he lived to a very respectable 81 years old.) To celebrate a man whose forty-year-old cinematic creations still manage to pack the University cinema, a spiked-coffee drink named after one of his best films.

The Vertigo

1 oz Grand Marnier orange liqueur
0.5 oz Kahlua
0.5 oz creme de cacao (white or dark)
4 oz coffee
whipped cream

Build the first four ingredients into a coffee mug and stir, then top with whipped cream to taste.

Perfect for the cold weather and the extra caffeine will help you stay up late in case a scary movie has you too keyed up to sleep. Happy birthday, Alfred. And thanks for that irrational fear of showers.
