Hochstadter's Slow & Low Coffee Old Fashioned
Hochstadter's Slow & Low Coffee Old Fashioned is an 80-proof (40% ABV), 750mL ready-to-drink cocktail — straight rye whiskey blended with Intelligentsia cold brew coffee, raw honey, demerara cane sugar, aromatic bitters, and orange peel. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
Inspired by Café Brûlot, the classic New Orleans after-dinner coffee cocktail, the Coffee Old Fashioned takes the Slow & Low formula — aged rye, raw honey, demerara, and bitters — and runs it through real cold brew. The result is deliberately extra dry: the equivalent of just one sugar cube per 2 oz serving, so the coffee and rye spice lead and the sweetness stays in the background. No mixing, no measuring — it is a complete, spirit-forward Old Fashioned in the bottle.
Tasting profile: roasted coffee, honey sweetness, and fresh orange peel on the nose over subtle rye spice; a rich coffee palate layered with honey and demerara complexity, warmed by rye and bitters; a clean, slightly dry finish with lingering coffee.

Serving note: pour over one large cube straight from the bottle — it is the after-dinner pour, built for rich desserts like tiramisu or chocolate mousse.
