The Graveyard Shift

There's something about a diner at 2 AM that feels like its own little world. The fluorescent lights, the endless coffee, the sense that time moves differently when most people are asleep. The Graveyard Shift captures that feeling in a glass, mixing the comfort of late-night coffee with the warmth of good whiskey. Cold brew concentrate brings bold, smooth coffee flavor without any bitterness, while demerara syrup adds molasses-rich sweetness that tastes like it came from the bottom of a pie case. Heavy cream gives you that silky, luxurious texture, and cardamom bitters with fresh nutmeg on top add the kind of aromatic spice that makes you think of cinnamon rolls and midnight desserts. It's spirit-forward enough to remind you there's whiskey in there, but creamy and approachable like your favorite late-night indulgence. Make this when you're up late, whether you're winding down from a long shift or just embracing those quiet hours when the world feels smaller. Pour one, find a comfortable spot, and settle in.
