In this day and age you always see people walking around with a cup of coffee. This gave us inspiration for today’s cocktail. While there are plenty of recipes for after dinner hot coffee drinks, you rarely see cocktails employing the use of iced coffee. The aromatic bitter character of coffee adds dimension to today’s cocktail, marrying beautifully to Bourbon in what we call, The Juan Valdez Old Fashioned.
Cheers!
