An Old-Fashioned Whiskey Cocktail is a simple mixture of whiskey, sugar, bitters and a citrus peel. It is a sublimely simple and delicious preparation for a wide range of spirits besides just whiskey—rum, tequila, brandy—and a fine apple brandy is no exception. Showcasing the earthy flavor of fermented apples with just a bit of sugar and bitters is a perfect preparation to enjoy classic holiday flavors in a new way.

Apple Brandy Old-Fashioned Recipe

oz simple syrup OR 1 sugar cube

Angostura bitters

oz apple brandy (such as Clear Creek)

lemon twist

If using sugar, place the sugar cube in the bottom of the glass and add the 2 dashes of bitters. Muddle well to blend the sugar and bitters, then add a few drops of water and stir to dissolve the sugar.

If using simple syrup, add the syrup and bitters to the glass.

Place a large chunk of ice into the glass filled with sugar and bitters and add the apple brandy. Stir well to incorporate the sugar and brandy.

Twist the lemon peel over the top, drop it into the glass and serve.

To make demura syrup, boil 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup demura sugar. Stir until sugar has fully dissolved. Remove from heat and set aside or store in mason jar.

Soak cinnamon stick in your cheapest neutral spirit, such as vodka, to better flambe. Let soak while you make cocktail.

Peel apple like you would a wide orange peel garnish. Dehydrate in oven for 15-20 minutes at 175F, or until edges curl over and it is no longer dripping apple juices.
