Espresso Old Fashioned Made with Better Day Bottled Espresso

A classic cocktail with a bold espresso twist.

This Espresso Old Fashioned recipe is made with Better Day Bottled Espresso, a 100% pure espresso that brings depth, balance, and richness to a timeless cocktail.

Unlike cold brew or coffee liqueurs, Better Day Bottled Espresso is real espresso—brewed fresh and bottled for ease. When paired with bourbon or rye, it enhances the spirit’s natural caramel and vanilla notes while adding just the right touch of bitterness.

The result is smooth, bold, and perfectly balanced. It’s the kind of drink that feels elevated without being complicated—ideal for slow evenings, dinner parties, or anytime you want to make something a little fancy at home.

Better Day Bottled Espresso proves that espresso isn’t just for mornings. It belongs behind the bar too.

Why This Recipe Works
