Grandma’s Apple Rye

Recipe courtesy of  Nathan Osborne, Bar Manager of Blackberry Farm

1.5 oz. Hudson Manhattan Rye Whiskey
1 oz. brown sugar syrup (1 1/2 cup light brown sugar + 1/2 cup white sugar + 1 cup hot water)
2 dashes Fee Brothers Aromatic Bitters
2 slices apple (Something local is best, but you probably have access to several varieties in your grocery store. Try to use a sweeter apple to help balance the spicy rye flavor, ideally a Wine Sap, Rome Beauty or Pink Lady if you can find them.)
1 cinnamon stick (as garnish)

In a Collins glass, muddle the apple to release the juice. Add ice, whiskey, bitters and syrup. Give a quick shake and pour all contents into a heavy rocks glass (including the chunks of apple). Garnish with the cinnamon stick.
