Rocks Glass
Large Cube

Ingredients

  • 1 oz
    Laird's Applejack

    Laird's Bonded Apple Brandy preferred

  • 1 cube
    Dark Brown Sugar
  • 2 dashes
    Orange Bitters

Instructions

Place a brown sugar cube in a rocks glass and saturate it with orange bitters. Muddle gently until the cube breaks down into a coarse paste. Pour in the rye and applejack, then add a large ice cube and stir briefly to integrate. Express a long, curly orange peel over the glass and use it as the garnish.

About

A split-base Old-Fashioned riff from Little Branch that draws inspiration from the Diamondback cocktail, marrying rye whiskey and applejack over a brown sugar and orange bitters foundation. The result is a richly layered, spirit-forward sipper that showcases Laird's Bonded Apple Brandy at its finest.
