A simple but punchy take on a classic, this recipe uses equal parts rye whiskey and Mr. Black coffee liqueur with a few dashes of orange bitters.

You’ll need:

• 30ml Bulleit bourbon

• 30ml Mr Black cold brew coffee liqueur (or any coffee liqueur)

You’ll need:

• 40ml Bulleit bourbon

To make: 

• Add your bourbon, cognac and syrup to a mixing glass filled with ice

• Add bitters and stir until it’s mixed (roughly about 30 seconds)
