Call me a classic kind of girl, but my most favourite drink is an Old Fashioned. The combination of the whisky’s smooth vanilla and citrus notes, combined with bitters and brown sugar syrup is simply a decadent sip.
But, unwilling to give up my icy cocktails over winter, I’ve warmed up the Old Fashioned with the addition of a sachet of Society Coffee Original. Creamy, frothy and beautifully aromatic, the sachet acts as a velvety double espresso addition to the cocktail, lending a warmth and a dreamy languidity to the drink.
And please don’t be scripted by my classical approach; you can add any Society Coffee sachet to your Espresso Old Fashioned, to create your own coffee shop experience at home. Society Coffee offers a range of 100% Arabica, instant cappuccino and mochaccino sachets made with beans sourced from Colombia. Vanilla for a sweeter approach, Mochaccino for some added cocoa, Hazelnut for a more earthy taste or the Caramel Toffee to turn your cocktail into dessert.
