Anyone who loves coffee and bourbon should put the two together immediately - here's how

If you like coffee and bourbon separately, you owe it to yourself to try coffee-infused bourbon.

And guess what? Making it is as easy as mixing bourbon and whole espresso beans and waiting patiently for six hours.

I first tried coffee-infused bourbon in the aptly named Cold-Fashioned at The New York Edition hotel's Clocktower restaurant. It uses the infused bourbon to mimic the taste of cold-brew coffee without weakening the drink, which is a play on an Old-Fashioned.

Here's an unbelievably simple guide to making coffee-infused bourbon to drink straight up or in a Cold-Fashioned.
