The Espresso Old Fashion

The hybrid spirit-free cocktail.

Its September’s top seller and has been described as “tiramisu” in a glass by our patrons. So what’s in it, you ask?

Now if you’ve visited our space, you’ll notice that we don’t have an espresso machine. But, what we do have are drip coffees by one of our brand partner, Blue’s Coffee & Tea Co. — family owned, DC owned and a former residence of H Street Corridor. In this cocktail we feature one of two blends, Sumatra and Sanctuary. Its fragrant and aromatic properties is the perfect base mixer for an elegant and elevated spirit-free cocktail our patrons love so much.

The thought process that went into creating Espresso Old Fashion’s recipe involved adding a shot of, ‘amarno’ also. It’s an Italian digestive and botanicals that is used to counter the effects of the caffeine. It’s a digestive stabilizer if paired with our delicious bite offerings or a night cap, even. We highly recommend you give it a try in your next visit and let us know what you think!
