Coffee Old Fashioned

Prep 5 mins

Total 5 mins

Yield 1 drink

Ingredients

For the drink:

2 shots bourbon whiskey
1 shot cold, strong coffee
1/2 shot cinnamon simple syrup
Dash of Angostura bitters
3-5 ice cubes

To serve:

1 large ice cube (or 2 smaller ones)
Fresh whipped cream
Dash of ground cinnamon
range zest

Instructions

Combine all drink ingredients in a cocktail shaker or mason jar.
Stir till your arm hurts, or about 60 seconds.
Place serving cubes in a glass.
Strain liquid into glass.
Top with dollop of whipped cream, ground cinnamon, and orange zest.

Notes

To make the cinnamon simple syrup: place 1 C Redpath raw turbinado sugar, 1 C water, and 2 cinnamon sticks in a small saucepan. Bring to a light boil, stirring regularly. Turn the heat to low and simmer 15 min. Remove from heat and let cool. Remove cinnamon sticks and store syrup in the fridge for up to 1 week. Use in all coffee until gone, because holy hell yum.

If you don't have access to raw turbinado sugar: organic cane sugar or a dark brown sugar will also work - you just want that deep sweet earthiness.
