Autumn Leaves

 

The mark of a great cocktail is finding balance in layering a number of ingredients to create harmony in the sum of its parts.  Today we share with you Autumn Leaves, created by bartender Jeffery Morgenthaler.  Jeffery nailed the flavor combinations in this drink built on a foundation of Rye whiskey and Apple brandy.  The Rye provides a spicy backdrop while the Apple Brandy offers with a crisp fruit punch.  It is then accented with Carpano Antica formula Vermouth and Strega liqueur.  Carpano adds a bitter-sweet richness and Strega’s 70+ herbal ingredients bring complex coniferous notes.  The amazing combination of flavors creates a sublime drinking experience in a cocktail that we prefer to slowly to sip and linger over to the very last drop.

 

Autumn Leaves

In a shaker glass filled with ice add:

  • 3/4 Ounce Rye Whiskey
  • 3/4 Ounce Apple Brandy (Laird’s Apple Jack or Calvados)
  • 3/4 Ounce Carpano Antica Formula Sweet Vermouth
  • 1/4 Ounce Strega
  • 2 Dash Angostura Bitters

Stir to gently chill ingredients.  Strain into an lowball glass over fresh ice.  Garnish with an orange peel twist.
