Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by taking an Old Fashioned glass and placing a sugar cube or a teaspoon of granulated sugar at the bottom. Add two dashes of Angostura bitters alongside one dash of orange bitters. Use a muddler to press and dissolve the sugar.
  2. Next, pour in four ounces of freshly brewed and cooled espresso into the muddled mixture. Add either chocolate syrup for sweetness or more bitters for tradition. Stir for about 15 seconds.
  3. Pour in 2 ounces of bourbon or rye whiskey and 0.5 ounces of coffee liqueur. Stir thoroughly for 20 to 30 seconds.
  4. Gently introduce a large ice cube and stir softly for another 20-30 seconds. Express the oils from a fresh orange peel over the drink, rubbing it around the rim before adding it to the glass.
  5. Sprinkle grated dark chocolate on top for a finishing touch.
  6. Take a moment to appreciate the rich aromas before sipping slowly. Enjoy your luxurious Chocolate Espresso Old Fashioned!
