How to make a cold brew concentrate
70g coarsely ground coffee (sea salt size)

How to make the Capital Cold Brew Old Fashioned
To your cup, add 1 teaspoon of brown sugar. In a traditional, old fashioned, a white sugar cube is used. However, in this recipe we use brown sugar as the presence of molasses helps to add body and sweetness to the drink to help cut through the added coffee. Add two dashes of angostura bitters to the sugar and muddle the ingredients together. Add your ice cube to the glass along with 1 oz of the cold brew concentrate, 2 oz of your choice of bourbon whiskey, and give it a quick stir to combine and chill. Take the peel of an orange and squeeze over the top to express oils, swiping it along the rim before placing it in the drink. Top with two cherries to finish the drink and enjoy!
