Two Wednesdays ago, I spotted a curious drink called the Mountain Harvest on the ShakeStir site's recipe database. The cocktail was created by Chicago bartender Jacyara de Oliveira, and I was drawn to the combination for apple brandy and Cardamaro have worked great before in drinks like the Rusty Soul, Astra, and Wooden Shoe, and I was curious to see how that would do with a split base of pisco. Once prepared, the Mountain Harvest donated a lemon, herbal, and grape aroma to the senses. Next, a grape sip progressed into earthy notes leading into bitter herbal flavors on the swallow with a cinnamon and allspice finish.
