Apple Crisp Cocktail Recipe
- 1/4 cup green cardamom pods
- 1 cup bourbon, such as Buffalo Trace
- 1 ounce Laird's 100 proof apple brandy (
- Applejack)
- 1/2 ounce Cardamom-Infused bourbon
- 3/4 ounce fresh juice from 1 lemon
- 3/4 ounce honey syrup (see note)
- Club soda
- Garnish: lemon twist
- Place 1/4 cup cardamom pods in a resealable jar. Crush with a wooden spoon to crack about half the pods (this can also be done in a mortar and pestle.) Top with 1 cup bourbon, shake, infuse for 1 1/2 hours at room temperature. Strain through a fine mesh strainer, discard solids, and re-bottle bourbon.
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add apple brandy, cardamom-infused bourbon, lemon juice, and honey syrup. Shake until well chilled, about 15 seconds.
- Strain into an ice-filled highball glass. Top with soda and garnish with lemon twist.
