The editorial take
1824 Cocktails & Coffee treats coffee as a structural ingredient, not a garnish. Six espresso martini builds range from a $13 vodka version to an $18 Cantera Negra Blanco pour, while The Boujee Lebowski and Cold Brew Old Fashioned show the same coffee thread in a rocks drink and a Woodford Reserve bourbon old fashioned. Four zero-proof craft drinks, each $10, round out the list.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Bur Oak Espresso Martini, built on Cantera Negra Blanco with coffee liqueur, espresso liqueur, fresh espresso, and simple syrup. For a non-espresso route, the Cold Brew Old Fashioned uses Woodford Reserve bourbon, cold brew, coffee liquor, simple syrup, and bitters. The Queen's Mule adds Casamigos Reposado tequila, passion fruit liqueur, guava, lime, and ginger beer.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- People who want a cocktail list organized around coffee, with classic old fashioneds and mules available alongside six distinct espresso martini builds. The zero-proof section gives non-drinkers four named $10 options rather than a single token pour.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Espresso martinis run $12 to $18, with the 1824 Espresso Martini at $13 and the Bur Oak at $18. Other listed cocktails, including The Boujee Lebowski, Cold Brew Old Fashioned, and The Queen's Mule, are priced $12 to $16. Zero-proof craft drinks are $10 each, and bottled water is $5.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- Six espresso martini variations with different spirits and liqueurs anchor the menu, alongside signature builds like The Boujee Lebowski with King & Dane coffee liquor and whipped cream, and the Cold Brew Old Fashioned with Woodford Reserve bourbon. The coffee theme extends into four zero-proof craft drinks.
