This recipe is a twist on the classic Manhattan, substituting coffee liqueur for the sweet vermouth and orange bitters for the traditional aromatic variety. The bold flavors of Uncle Nearest 1856, the authentic coffee flavor of Du Nord Spirits' Café Frieda and the bright citrus aromatics of Hella Cocktail Co.'s Orange Bitters are a perfect combination! For added drama, this recipe calls for a flamed orange peel. Add a hint of smokiness and surprise your friends with this always impressive finishing touch.
