1½ oz. Angel's Envy Port-Finished Bourbon

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a mixing glass, stir together bourbon and espresso. Then build drink in a Collins glass: Fill glass with cubed ice, add tonic water, then add bourbon and espresso mixture on top by pouring slowly, allowing it to layer on top of the tonic water.
