The twisted version of an iconic cocktail: Old Fashioned Espresso

Whiskey and coffee have never been more successfully combined. 

Alcohol fits well with coffee, whether we are talking about coffees with a small dose of drink, or about cocktails that include coffee. Old Fashioned espresso is the well-known and beloved Old Fashioned, with a small twist of caffeine: with the addition of a double espresso, the flavors are pleasingly contrasting, and the drink is perfect for the evening's start.

Old Fashioned is one of the oldest and most famous cocktails in the world and originates in the United States. Its original version includes sugar, whiskey, bitters and in some cases citrus fruits, such as orange or lemon. Old Fashioned was created in the late 19th century and has become so popular that it has also baptized the glass, Old Fashioned Glass.

When, in the years that followed, more sophisticated ingredients, such as liqueurs or absinthe, began to be added to cocktails, fans of the simpler cocktails used to ask their bar-drinkers to be old fashioned, giving the name to this timeless cocktail.

Old Fashioned Espresso takes root in the tradition of cocktails and brings a little air of refreshment by somehow marrying the American tradition of cocktails with Italian espresso refinement - with explosive tasting results!
