Print Recipe

A smooth and sophisticated coffee cocktail blending bold cold brew coffee, warm bourbon, natural maple syrup sweetness, and bright orange bitters for a unique twist on the classic Old Fashioned.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 oz (60 ml) Bourbon Whiskey
  • 1 oz (30 ml) Cold Brew Coffee
  • 0.5 oz (15 ml) Pure Maple Syrup (Grade A dark amber preferred)
  • 2 dashes Orange Bitters (Angostura orange bitters recommended)
  • Ice Cubes (large preferred)
  • Orange Peel (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Chill your Old Fashioned glass by placing it in the freezer or filling it with ice water for about 5 minutes.
  2. Measure and pour 2 oz bourbon and 1 oz cold brew coffee into a mixing glass.
  3. Add 0.5 oz pure maple syrup and 2 dashes of orange bitters to the mixing glass.
  4. Fill the mixing glass with large ice cubes.
  5. Stir gently with a bar spoon for 20-30 seconds to chill and dilute slightly.
  6. Prepare your serving glass by emptying the ice water or removing it from the freezer, then add fresh ice cubes.
  7. Strain the cocktail mixture into the chilled serving glass over the fresh ice.
  8. Garnish with a twist of orange peel by expressing the oils over the glass, running it around the rim, and dropping it in.

Notes

Use large ice cubes to slow dilution. Stir gently instead of shaking to preserve clarity and texture. Warm maple syrup slightly if too thick. Fresh cold brew coffee improves flavor. Adjust maple syrup amount to taste depending on bitterness of cold brew. Garnish with fresh orange peel for best aroma. Variations include using rye whiskey, honey syrup, or non-alcoholic alternatives.
