History:
Adapted from a recipe created circa 2012 by Jeffrey Morgenthaler, Portland, Oregon, USA. Jeff was inspired by the bourbon and apple combination in a simple Stone Fence.
On his own website, Jeff says, "We serve this one on pebble ice with a garnish of fanned apple slices, but crushed ice works just as well, and plain old ice cubes are great, too."
Review:
This whisky-laced, lightly spiced apple and lemon cocktail has an autumnal hue and, when served in an old-fashioned glass over cubed or block ice, is perfect for hunkering down on a winter's eve. However, it is in its incarnation served over crushed ice, as preferred by Jeffrey Morgenthaler, its creator, that this has become the unofficial cocktail of USA Thanksgiving and the holiday period that follows.
