Coffee Old Fashioned¶
A rich, bourbon-forward twist on the classic Old Fashioned, enhanced with coffee liqueur and a citrus finish.
Ingredients¶
- 2 oz bourbon
- ½ oz coffee liqueur
- ¼ oz simple syrup (or maple syrup)
- 2 dashes orange bitters
- 1 dash Angostura bitters
- Orange peel (garnish)
- Coffee beans (garnish)
Instructions¶
- Add bourbon, coffee liqueur, simple syrup, and bitters to a mixing glass or shaker with ice.
- Stir (or shake) until well chilled.
- Strain into a rocks glass over a large ice cube.
- Express the orange peel over the glass, rub around the rim, and drop it in.
- Garnish with a few coffee beans.
Tips¶
- Stirring (rather than shaking) keeps the drink spirit-forward and clear.
- Try maple syrup for a richer, autumnal flavor.
