Go for it

Well, not
really. Actually, it's more of a bad thing that you're worried about it
As a general guideline, I don't do first dates as double dates, but I had a double-dinner-date with my best mate, et al., and it was gerat. Like Stratocaster said, you can generate a lot more conversation, and especially with someone like your best friend. My friend and I had our girls rolling with just stories that he and I had that they hadn't heard.
Ah, it was beautiful thing.
Don't worry too much about this ONE double-date sinking you for the rest of eternity, though. It's really not that big a deal so long as you don't make it a habit to only go out with her when other couples are around (because that REALLY makes you look like a wuss, and "alone time" is almost impossible with another couple around

).
Anyway, now that I've totally circumvented your question, I'll just answer you with a single words as to whether or not this first date being a double date is such a bad thing: No.
