The cocktail: Apple Bottoms Up
The ingredients: Cinnamon-infused Vodka, Calvados apple brandy, Allspice Dram, vanilla, lemon, brown sugar simpl
The inspiration: “The inspiration is from my favorite dessert this time of year… apple crisp!”
The build: “This is a clarified cocktail, so ingredients are mixed with heavy cream to trap impurities. The mixture is then filtered through a cheesecloth/coffee filter that leaves you with a clear cocktail. The taste is silky smooth and, of course, is served on a clear king cube!” — BH
