Method
Base Cocktail
- 1
Combine spirits and coffee
Add bourbon, Kahlúa, chocolate liqueur and cooled espresso (and a splash of cold-brew concentrate or water if you want to lengthen) into a mixing glass.
- 2
Sweeten and season
Add simple syrup, fresh lime juice, and two dashes of Angostura bitters to the mixing glass to balance sweetness and add aromatic depth.
- 3
Finish & Garnish
- 4
Strain the chilled cocktail into an Old Fashioned glass over a large ice cube (or a few fresh cubes).
- 5
Express the orange peel over the drink (pinch the peel to release oils), then rub it around the rim and drop it into the glass.
- 6
Lightly grate a little dark chocolate or dust with cocoa powder on top for a finishing 'mud' flourish.
- 7
Serve immediately with a short stirring pick so the guest can re-incorporate the chocolate as it settles.
