Bourbon and Coffee Cold Brew Cocktail

Calling all bourbon lovers: If you haven’t experienced the decadence of a Cold Brew Cocktail, you’re missing out! Combining the smooth taste of bourbon with creamy cold brew and topped off with a drizzle of chocolate syrup, this libation is sure to awaken your taste buds.

Bourbon in Coffee? Yes! A Cold Brew Bourbon Iced Coffee with Chocolate Syrup and Half and Half to be exact. Get your shaker ready and whip up your own version with this irresistible recipe: mix together bourbon, cold brew, half & half, and chocolate syrup. You won’t be able to resist this irresistible concoction!

Sitting in Louisville, KY the heart of Bourbon Country is an outstanding restaurant called Toast on Market. I had the most amazing breakfast and a Bourbon Cold Brew Mocha. I was in love and it wasn’t the booze talking. This bourbon coffee drink was magic.

As if you need a reason to put bourbon in coffee here are a few.

• Sunday Brunch Cocktail!
• Afternoon cocktails with friends
• Parent-Teacher Conference
• BECAUSE YOU ARE AN ADULT! 

Ingredients for a Bourbon Cold Brew Cocktail

For a coffee whiskey cocktail, you will want to use bourbon. Those dark rich tones of oak and brown sugar blend fabulously in this bourbon coffee cocktail.

• Bourbon – We used Buffalo Trace.
• Cold Brew Coffee – You can find Starbucks Cold Brew or Stok Cold Brew Coffee in your local grocery stores.
• Half & Half
• Vanilla Extract
• Chocolate Syrup
• Whipped Cream
• Cherry, garnish.

Bourbon in Coffee: How does it taste?

Along with the cream and chocolate, the bourbon actually complements the flavors. This drink is like a dessert or a crazy concoction from Starbucks. Trust me it is good. But as I said before, you may have to tweak it to your liking. 

I don’t recommend straight hot black coffee and a shot of bourbon unless you are sick with a cold and have to get out of bed. Whiskey is medicine after all. 

Flavor Swaps for this Bourbon Coffee Drink

This doesn’t have to be a Mocha. Here are some flavor swaps to try! (Since you did just make a bunch of Cold Brew Concentrates you might as well get a little creative.)

• Trade out Chocolate Syrup for Caramel Syrup
• Use flavored whole-bean coffee like vanilla, Hawaiian Coconut, or hazelnut. 
• Also, use flavored creamers instead of Half & Half. 
• Instead of vanilla extract use almond extract.
