Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz Aberfeldy 12 Single Malt Scotch Whisky
  • 1/4 oz Apple cider syrup
  • 1/4 oz Averna Amaro
  • 2 dashes orange bitters
  • 1 orange peel

  1. In a mixing glass with ice, combine the Scotch, syrup, amaro and bitters. Stir until well-chilled, about 10 to 15 seconds.
  2. Strain into a chilled coupe glass.
  3. Twist the orange peel to express its oils and drop into the glass for garnish. Boo!
To make the cider syrup:
  1. Combine 2 cups fresh apple cider with 1/2 cup dark brown sugar and one cinnamon stick. Simmer over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the liquid begins to thicken a little, about 10 minutes. Strain, discard the cinnamon stick and store in a glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
