What is an Old Fashioned?
Old Fashioned are a classic for a reason. Touted as one of the first co*cktails, it contains spirit, sugar and bitters. It can also be any combination of these three ingredients.
The base spirit can be the go-to bourbon or whiskey, rum, mezcal or other spirits combined with flavored syrups and a plethora of bitter choices, you can really make it your own.
We kept it classic with bourbon here, but added in some coffee liqueur for a kick of caffeine. Along with orange and spice-filled angostura bitters, this Coffee Old Fashioned is the perfect pick-me up to mix-up for Father’s Day this year!
P.S. If he’s a fan of coffee co*cktails, try our Espresso Martinior Carajillo Coffee. Or for another twist on the Old Fashioned, check out our Christmas Old Fashioned.
