I was "trapped under ice" for the last few days.

Hope you were able to do some alternate cardio. Or use the dreadmill

Alternative? Nah, just sucked it up and ran.

Can't remember how much of a coffee guy you are, but I made a Revolver last week that went over well

2oz bourbon
.5 coffee/espresso liqueur
2 dashes orange bitters
Flame an orange peel as a garnish if you're feeling fancy

I used Bulleit and Mr Black cold brew liqueur

This sounds fantastic! I'd swap the orange bitters for regular aromatic bitters, but otherwise sounds great.

I wonder if I could pass that off as my morning "coffee..."

I usually make whiskey punch or hot whiskey a few times a year while the weather is cold.

Cut a lemon wheel in half and stud the white pith between the flesh and the peel with 3 or 4 cloves.
Rinse out a mug or hot-whiskey glass with boiling water to warm it.
Add 1 tsp demerara sugar or honey and 1 oz or so boiling water.
Stir until sugar or honey has dissolved.
Add 2 oz Irish whiskey, the lemon slice and another ounce or so boiling water.

Simple and delicious.

Can I have you over for some whiskey neat and delicious bourbon.

No need for cocktails. We can touch belt buckles

I've kind of gone to this, minus the airport bathroom toe-tapping part, and started buying some good sipping bourbons, rums, and tequilas.

This cocktail popped up on my Google feed a few weeks back. Very similar to the coffee old fashioned I make, but without the sweetener. I made it with st George coffee liquor and really liked it.
