palisades

1 1/2 oz Laird's Jersey Lightning (Copper & Kings Unaged Apple Brandy)
1 oz Cynar
1/2 oz Varnelli Caffè Moka (Glliano Ristretto)

Build in an old fashioned glass, add ice, stir to mix and chill, and garnish with an orange twist.
Two Saturdays ago, I decided to make the Palisades that I spotted in an online collection of Dutch Kills bar recipes. The drink created by Matty Clark in 2016 utilized the pairing of Cynar and coffee liqueur seen in the Sissy Gun, Lake Union, and Fair Trade but here with an unaged apple brandy. In the glass, the Palisades met the nose with orange, coffee, and roast aromas. Next, caramel and roast notes on the sip flowed into apple, coffee, caramel, vegetal, roasty, and minty flavors on the swallow.
