agave orchard

1 oz Reposado Tequila (Espolon)
1 oz Cocchi Americano
3/4 oz Laird's Apple Brandy (Laird's Bonded)
1/4 oz Becherovka
2 dash Celery Bitters (Bitter Truth)

Stir with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with an orange twist.While researching the Orchard in Manhattan that I had two nights previous, I found this similar recipe by Sother Teague that I had not tried before. That one was the Agave Orchard that he created for Bergen Hill in Brooklyn and that was published in a 2014 Imbibe Magazine article. This variation had tequila and celery bitters instead of Cognac and apple bitters plus a different recipe structure. In the glass, the Agave Orchard bloomed with orange, cinnamon, and pear aromas. Next, pear and nectarine notes on the sip flowed into tequila, apple, clove, and cinnamon flavors on the swallow with a celery finish.
