Black Cat Old Fashioned<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Makes 1 cocktail<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

1 1\/2 ounces bourbon<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

1\/2 ounce mezcal<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

1\/4 ounce Orange & Black Coffee Syrup (recipe follows)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

1-2 dashes chocolate bitters<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Garnish: fat orange peel<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Measure the bourbon, mezcal, syrup and bitters into a mixing glass. Fill three-quarters full with ice. Stir with a bar spoon until well chilled. Serve strained over a large ice cube in an old fashioned glass. Express the orange peel over the drink to release the oils, twist and add to the drink.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
