National Coffee Day was this past Tuesday, but we’re still feeling the urge for caffeine on Friday (and, well, every day, all the time…).
Instead of the same-old Espresso Martini — although, don’t get us wrong, we do love an Espresso Martini over here! — we’re sharing a whiskey-coffee liqueur mash-up from our friends over at Tia Maria, whose intense cold brew liqueur takes the spirited dip into the coffee world to a new level. Grab a bottle at Park Place Wines & Liquors and stir one up tonight.
The Revolver
- 2 oz bourbon
- 1/2 oz Tia Maria Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur
- 2 dashes orange bitters
- 1 orange peel, for garnish
In a mixing glass with ice, pour in all liquid ingredients.
Stir until well chilled, about 10 to 15 seconds.
Strain into a chilled coupe or martini glass and garnish with the orange peel. Cheers!
