Coffee Old Fashioned

1. 1

   Make the coffee ice cubes: Brew a strong pot of coffee and let it cool to room temperature. Pour into ice cube trays and freeze. If you're really on your cocktail game you should make them in this tray; much prettier than the tiny ice. You'll only need 3 for this drink, so throw the rest in a freezer bag and to cool iced coffee without it getting watery! (and maybe make yourself a frozen mocha or throw a few into a milkshake.)

2. 2

   Make the cocktail: Put a rocks glass in the freezer. Dissolve the brown sugar in 1 tablespoon water and set aside. Remove the glass from the freezer and place 3 coffee ice cubes in the bottom of it. Pour the sugar mixture over the ice, then do the same with the Bourbon/Rye and bitters. Swirl it all together and garnish with an orange slice, adding a little extra squeeze of juice if you so choose. Sip slowly for a mellow but intense buzz, sip fast if you're tryna get weird. Either way, you just got a bit closer to being Don Draper.
