Meet the Old Fashioned’s caffeinated cousin. By pairing the non-alcoholic Kentucky 74 (or your favorite bourbon) with cold brew concentrate, this version brings together bourbon’s oak, caramel, and vanilla notes with the deep roast and gentle bitterness of coffee. A touch of maple syrup adds weight and roundness, while our Coffee & Cherry bitters tie everything together with rich, toasty, subtly fruity depth. It’s simple, spirit-forward, and just the right mix of classic and modern—a non-alcoholic Old Fashioned that’s as easy to love as it is to make.

This recipe was perfected using Spiritless Kentucky 74, but feel free to use your favorite alcoholic or non-alcoholic whiskey instead.

Recipe Note

ABOUT THE COFFEE OLD FASHIONED
A modern riff on the original whiskey cocktail, this drink swaps the traditional sugar cube for maple syrup and adds cold brew for a bold, roasted kick. Think of it as a mash-up of an Old Fashioned and an after-dinner coffee.

AVOIDING WATERY NON-ALCOHOLIC COCKTAILS
Because non-alcoholic spirits are often lighter in texture than their boozy counterparts, too much melted ice can make a drink taste weak or watery. When making cocktails that are traditionally stirred with ice, keep your bottles refrigerated so the spirits start cold, reducing the need to stir with ice in the first place. When serving on the rocks, build the drink directly in the glass you’ll serve it in, add ice (preferably one large cube), and stir for 10–15 seconds—just enough to reach the ideal temperature without overly diluting the cocktail.

THE COFFEE FACTOR
Cold brew concentrate makes an excellent non-alcoholic cocktail ingredient: it’s loaded with flavor, bitterness, and aromatic complexity, all while adding body and texture. It also contributes a functional element—energy and stimulation—replacing the function of alcohol.

COCKTAIL BITTERS IN NON-ALCOHOLIC DRINKS
Cocktail bitters provide depth and balance, rounding out sweet and bitter flavors while adding bite. Since All The Bitter is completely 0% ABV (unlike traditional bitters, which are around 45% alcohol), you can use as much as you like to dial in flavor and complexity without affecting the ABV of your drink.
