About this recipe

This Old Fashioned marries the flavors of rum and coffee. Chocolate bitters add a bit of decadence to this Miami version of the classic.

Cafecito syrup: Combine 2 cups of Demerera sugar (turbinado), 1 cup hot water and 1 shot (1.5 oz) espresso coffee in a bowl and mix until well dissolved. Let cool. Label and store.
