There's nothin' like a good ol' cuppa brewed coffee in the morn or a strong sip of bourbon after a long day's work. Combine the two golden elixirs together and you've got yourself one helluva caffeine-kicked cocktail perfect to sip a summer's eve away.
Bourbon Iced Coffee Cocktail
Servings: ~4
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 cups Bourbon Cold Brew Concentrate [or regular Cold Brew concentrate if you don't have Bourbon Barrel Coffee]
- Bourbon Syrup:
- 1/4c bourbon
- 1/4c brown sugar
- 1/4c water
- Water
- Ice cubes
- Half & Half
- Sweetened Condensed Milk
[To make Cold Brew concentrate]
- 4oz of coarse ground Just Coffee Co-op’s Bourbon Barrel-Aged Coffee or Cold Brew Blend
- Saturate with 2.5 cups filtered water at room temperature or in the fridge for 12-24hrs
- Using strainer, cheese cloth, or other fine mesh – separate liquid concentrate from grounds
- Store concentrate in an air tight container [Concentrate can last up to 2 weeks when refrigerated]
[To make syrup]
Heat 1/4 cup water and add ¼ cup brown sugar. Simmer until brown sugar is dissolved, then allow to cool. Mix in 1/4 cup bourbon once cooled. [Heating the bourbon will burn off the alcohol content.]
[One Drink Recipe]
1] Pour 1/2c concentrate and 3tbs of cold water over ice [you can add more or less water based on taste preference, but you will be adding dairy which will dilute the concentrate even more]
2] Once syrup has cooled, add 2tbs to diluted concentrate and stir
3] Mix sweetened condensed milk with half and half to where it is just pourable with whisk. We suggest a 3:1 ratio of half and half to sweetened condensed milk
4] Float cream mixture on top of the coffee and ice
5] Stir, cheers yourself - then sit back & enjoy
