Two major spirited trends collide in a rocks glass to make one must mix cocktail. Can you guess what it is?

If you guessed a Cold Fashioned cocktail—cold brew coffee fused into the Old Fashioned—you are an extremely knowledgeable and insightful bartender. The timeless classic Old Fashioned cocktail has many riffs, but the basis for this all-time favorite mixture goes exceedingly well with the flavor of the moment. Enter cold brew coffee—the king of what’s now and new.

Mixing rye whiskey with high-quality cold brew liquor like Mr. Black adds a bittersweet blend of top-grade Arabica coffees and Australian wheat vodka to the Old Fashioned cocktail ingredients of classic rye whiskey and bitters.

Mr. Black has become the cocktail coffee of choice in the best bars, restaurants, and retailers across the globe. The liqueur is bold, balanced, and unapologetically coffee. It showcases perfectly in the Old Fashioned cocktail.
