• Mixing glass

• Jigger or measuring tool

• Bar spoon

• Fine mesh strainer

• Rocks glass

1. Chill the Glass

• Fill the rocks glass with ice or place it in the freezer to chill while preparing the cocktail.

2. Mix the Cocktail

• In a mixing glass filled with ice, add:

  • 1½ oz bourbon or rye

  • ¾ oz Campari

  • ¾ oz sweet vermouth

  • ¼ oz cold brew coffee concentrate

• Stir for 20–30 seconds until well-chilled and slightly diluted.

3. Strain & Serve

• Discard the ice from the glass and strain the cocktail over a large ice cube or fresh ice.

4. Garnish & Finish

• Express the oils from an orange twist over the glass and drop it in.

• Optionally, float a single coffee bean on the surface for a subtle coffee aroma.

• Bold Coffee Flavor: Increase the cold brew coffee to ½ oz for a more pronounced coffee note.

• Spicy Kick: Add a dash of chili bitters or a bar spoon of spiced syrup for extra warmth.

• Sweeter Version: Add ¼ oz of maple syrup or demerara syrup for a touch of sweetness.

• Richer Profile: Use an aged rum or brandy instead of whiskey for a smoother, more caramel-forward cocktail.

• Cold Brew Swap: Use a coffee liqueur like Mr. Black or Kahlúa in place of cold brew for a richer, sweeter finish.

• Appetizers: Prosciutto-wrapped figs, blue cheese crostini, or roasted nuts

• Snacks: Dark chocolate truffles, espresso-dusted almonds, or candied orange peel

• Dessert: Tiramisu, coffee panna cotta, or pecan pie
