A traditional Old Fashioned, but with a subtle coffee component
Equipment
- 1 Mixing glass
- 1 Rocks glass for serving
Ingredients
- 2 oz bourbon (60 ml)
- ⅔ oz cold brew concentrate - chilled (20 ml)
- ¼ oz pure maple syrup (7.5 ml
- 2 dashes Angostura bitters (about 1 ml)
- 1 dash chocolate bitters
- ice for stirring
- 1 strip of orange or lemon peel
- ice cubes for serving
Instructions
- Add the bourbon, cold brew concentrate, maple syrup, Angostura bitters, and chocolate bitters to a mixing glass.
- Fill with ice and stir with a bar spoon for about 15-20 seconds, until the cocktail is well chilled and properly diluted.
- Place one large ice cube or a few regular ice cubes in a rocks glass and strain the cocktail over the ice.
- Hold the orange or lemon peel over the glass with the colored side facing the surface of the drink and gently bend it to express the oils.
- Run the peel around the rim of the glass and add it to the cocktail
- Serve immediately.
Notes
The cocktail should remain bourbon-forward. If your cold brew concentrate is especially strong, reduce it from ⅔ ounce to ½ ounce.
For a sweeter drink, increase the maple syrup to about ⅓ ounce.
Simple syrup can replace the maple syrup, although the flavor will be slightly more neutral.
Use unsweetened, chilled cold brew concentrate for the best results.
A large ice cube is ideal for serving because it melts slowly, but regular ice cubes work just fine.
Orange peel gives the drink a classic bourbon-friendly citrus aroma. Use lemon peel if you'd prefer something brighter and slightly sharper.
