American Trilogy
To adhere to the original recipe, you should smash a sugar cube and then painstakingly stir this with bitters into a paste. Life is just too short to faff...

Eighty proof V.S. calvados 30ml. Rittenhouse bottled in bond and 7.5 rich moscovado. Hit that sweet spot! Excellent.

This time Laird's bottled in bond, Woodinville 90° rye and half muscovado half rich cane syrup (7.5ml). Going forward will be sure to use all dark muscovado syrup as this really makes it for me.

Made with Laird's Bottled-in-Bond & Wild Turkey 101 Rye. Pretty tasty as-is. Apple is balanced. Whiskey is smoothed out. Subtle orange. and brown sugar. Not too sweet for me.

I've tried this about a half dozen times now. Like y'all have suggested, reducing the sugar - in my case, to 5 ml - has resulted in a more harmonious drink. This in addition to skewing the spirit specs to 6:5, in favor of Old Forester 100-proof rye, which somehow has been a stalwart ingredient.

Made with half the Demerara and it works! Orange forward and refreshing. We had to use apple brandy as applejack is not available in Canada. Nice drink!

Delicious combination! I used calvados instead of applejack and this calls for a reduction of the syrup.

Was wondering about that. Thanks for the suggestion.

This is some godly nectar, rather excellent!

Apple flavoured, spirit-forward cocktail. Smooth and very well balanced. Used 1/2 sugar. Perfect.
