Après-Ski Espresso Old Fashioned: A Bold Take on a Classic Cocktail

Après-Ski Espresso Old Fashioned: A Bold Take on a Classic Cocktail

There’s nothing quite like unwinding after a long day on the slopes, and what better way to do it than with a handcrafted après-ski cocktail? Introducing the Après-Ski Espresso Old Fashioned, a rich and bold take on the classic Old Fashioned, infused with the deep, whiskey-kissed flavors of our Après Ski Whiskey Barrel-Aged Coffee.

This specialty-grade, single-origin Guatemalan coffee is aged for 30 days in bourbon barrels, absorbing the warm, oaky notes of whiskey before being roasted to perfection. When paired with smooth bourbon, a touch of simple syrup, and a dash of orange bitters, it creates the ultimate fireside sipper.

Ingredients:

  • 1 oz Après Ski Whiskey Barrel-Aged espresso (freshly brewed & cooled)
  • 2 oz bourbon
  • ½ oz simple syrup
  • 2 dashes orange bitters
  • Ice
  • Orange peel & cherry for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Fill a mixing glass with ice and add the bourbon, cooled espresso, simple syrup, and orange bitters.
  2. Stir gently until well chilled.
  3. Strain into a rocks glass over a large ice cube.
  4. Express an orange peel over the drink, rub it around the rim, and drop it in.
  5. Garnish with a cherry and enjoy fireside after a day of shredding.

Why It’s the Perfect Après-Ski Drink

This cocktail blends the warmth of bourbon with the deep, whiskey-barrel-aged richness of our specialty-grade coffee, creating a smooth, slightly smoky, and irresistibly bold sip. It’s the perfect way to relax, recharge, and relive the best runs of the day.
