Ledges Coffee Old Fashioned
About the Cocktail
The Coffee Old Fashioned was the first pour of our September 2026 Ledges Mixology “Barrel & Glass” class, and it set the tone for the entire evening. Built on bourbon, Drambuie, and a velvety coffee liqueur, this cocktail delivered richness, warmth, and a whisper of chocolate from the bitters. It was aromatic, indulgent, and exactly the kind of drink that makes you lean back and smile.
His Take (Jeff):
This was my favorite of the night. The Drambuie surprised me, and the chocolate‑mocha vibe from the bitters made it a standout. Smooth, rich, and absolutely top tier.
Her Take (Nancy Fae):
I expected to want mine sweeter, but the original pour was already delicious. A splash of Macadamia Nut Liqueur made it even better — layered, cozy, and irresistible.
The Good Life:
A cocktail that feels like a warm September evening — familiar, comforting, and just adventurous enough to make you feel like you’re living well.
