Fall is in full swing, which means afternoons are sleepier than ever. Add a jolt of caffeine to your happy hour this week, thanks to this Coffee Old Fashioned featuring Maggie’s Farm Rum’s ever-so-potent coffee liquor.
Coffee Cocktails Are Trending!
Perhaps Red Bull and vodka started it all? The combination of buzzy energy and boozy relaxation can fuel a lively night out. The Espresso Martini caps the trend very nicely, and is the #3 drink on most cocktail menus, behind classics like the Margarita and the Moscow Mule. Just for a change, why not try a Coffee Old Fashioned!
