American Trilogy
🥃 Serve in: Rocks Glass
Bottled-in-bond applejack meets high-proof straight rye here, sweetened with brown sugar syrup and finished with orange bitters -- built entirely from American spirits. The name nods to that all-domestic ingredient list, echoing old pre-Prohibition American drinking traditions. Strong, spirit-forward, and built in the Old Fashioned mold, it's a favorite among bartenders interested in American whiskey and brandy history. Stirred and served over ice, it rewards slow sipping.
