2 oz Bourbon
0.25 oz Simple Syrup
2-3 dashes Coffee Bitters (or Chocolate Bitters)
Garnish: Orange Peel
Directions
- Combine: Add bourbon, simple syrup, and the coffee bitters to a mixing glass.
- Stir: Add ice and stir until well chilled.
- Strain: Strain over a large clear ice cube.
- Garnish: Express the orange peel over the glass and drop it in.
Notes
- If you cannot find coffee bitters, a splash (0.25 oz) of cold brew concentrate works, though you may need to reduce the dilution (stir slightly less) to avoid a watery drink.
