The cold weather is starting to creep up with each passing day and one can’t help but notice how stronger spirits are in order to perfectly cap off long weeks during this fall season. And since we’re in Texas, what better way to mix things up with some craft coffee liqueur, some good old Texas distilled craft whiskey, chocolate bitters, and sharp but gentle hints of citrus to playfully treat your senses.
Now that you’re probably imagining those fun combinations of smells and tastes from this delectable Texan’s rendition of a coffee old fashioned, let’s get those thoughts and turn them into action. Here’s how to put together your very own Texas Gentleman at home.
The simple to prepare but interestingly complex tasting Texas Gentleman is perfect for the coming holidays. Notes of chocolate and hints of red fruit to the taste from Garrison Brothers’ Cowboy Bourbon bring an almost fruitcake like flavor when mixed with Remington Family Distiller’s Caffe Del Fuego coffee liqueur. While the orange zest puts forward a refreshing citrusy contrast to the deep roasted flavors - pulling together a flavor profile that’s an instant hit for any boozy (the whiskey is 134.8 proof by the way) coffee lover out there.
