Barnie's Best Old Fashioned Cocktail

Jan 31, 2025

What did the trendy cocktail say to the classic cocktail? "I'm glad that you're Old Fashioned." Well, that’s about where our jokes stop and our recipes start with Barnie’s Coffee. 



Barnie’s Old Fashioned Cocktail created with the Limited Time Offering Bourbon Brown Sugar Coffee. Barnie’s Bourbon Brown Sugar Coffee combines the flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, barrel-aged bourbon and dark brown sugar. This coffee was used in our recipe to really amplify the taste of your homemade concoction.

Made with just five ingredients—bourbon, maple syrup, bitters, Barnie’s Coffee and an optional (but recommended) orange peel.

INGREDIENTS:
2-3 Barnie’s Cold Brew Coffee ice cubes
2 ounces bourbon or whiskey

1 ounce brewed coffee or espresso (let it sit to cool off)
1/2 ounce pure maple syrup
3-4 dashes of bitters
Orange peel or cherry, for garnish (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Begin your BEST cocktail by making Barnie’s Cold Brew Ice Cubes
Fill an ice cube tray with Barnie’s Cold Brew Coffee. Once ready, place it in the freezer to make ice cubes for your cocktail. (this makes it next level, but you can certainly use plain ice cubes; we tried both options)

2. Combine the bourbon and bitters
Place your Barnie’s Cold Brew Coffee ice cube in your cocktail glass. Add the ounces of bourbon. Then add a few dashes of bitters to your rocks glass.

3. Add your coffee, and maple syrup, stir, and garnish appropriately.
Add the cooled coffee, and maple syrup, and stir for about 30 seconds. Garnish with orange peel or cherry, if desired.
