Behind the Coffee Old Fashioned Cocktail
Bartender Tyler Ledbetter created this cocktail with the intent of marrying the rich flavors of the Espresso Martini with the spirit-forward profile of a classic Old Fashioned.
He selected Cantera Negra Cafe liqueur for its ability to complement, rather than overpower, the Brother’s Bond Bourbon that serves as the base. The liqueur’s natural agave sweetness, with hints of vanilla and coffee, pairs beautifully with the bourbon’s caramel smoothness and subtle smokiness. A splash of Ruby Port adds a touch of purple color and depth, while orange bitters and fresh orange peel provide a citrusy balance. Ideal as a late-night or post-dinner drink, this cocktail is versatile enough to enjoy at any time.
