Coffee lovers, these 4 browned butter bourbon cocktails are a must-try

Many coffee cocktail recipes use vodka or rum, but these aren’t the only types of liquor that pair wonderfully with espresso. Taffer’s Browned Butter Bourbon works wonderfully as a liquor base for these four cocktails, with notes of vanilla and toffee infused into rich, bold bourbon whiskey.
