In this take on an Old Fashioned, the orchard notes in Hudson Whiskey's Calvados cask-finished rye whiskey are amplified with the addition of apple butter.
Add in maple and cardamom, and it sounds like a delicious pastry or a pie. Perhaps this cocktail is one to pair with an apple-themed dessert?
Ingredients:
2 parts Hudson Calvados Cask Rye
Barspoon maple syrup
Barspoon apple butter
2 dashes Fee Brother’s cardamom bitters
Grapefruit peel
Method:
Stir and strain ingredients over ice into rocks glass. Express and discard grapefruit peel. Garnish with a dried apple chip.
