Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

  • ice

  • 4 ounces bourbon

  • 1 ounce coffee liqueur (such as Kahlúa)

  • 4 dashes of orange bitters

  • 2 orange twists or Flamed Orange Twists (see Note), for garnish

Directions

  1. Fill a mixing glass or cocktail shaker half full with ice. Add bourbon, liqueur, and bitters. Stir or shake until very cold, about 30 seconds.

  2. Strain into 2 glasses. Rub rim of each glass with an orange twist, then garnish each glass with a twist.

    Flamed Orange Twists

    Hold a lit match (don’t use a lighter) several inches above  a glass. Briefly wave an orange twist, peel side down, about 2 inches over flame to warm the oils, then firmly pinch twist to express oils over flame. (The oil will ignite briefly.) Repeat with another match and remaining orange twist
