Smoky apple, warm baking spices, and pure old-fashioned elegance. Originally created at Death & Co. in 2009 by Jason Litrell, the North Garden is a bold, spirit-forward cocktail that wraps you up like your favorite fall sweater. Rich apple notes meet subtle smoke and spice, making this an absolute delight for crisp autumn nights or anytime the cold weather hits here in the States. Strong, cozy, and endlessly sippable.

In a cocktail mixing glass add all ingredients with ice and stir to chill. Strain into a rocks glass with a large ice cube. Also great served up in a coupe. Lots of times left ungarnished I’ve opted to add a cocktail cherry.
Editor's Note
A split-base of apple brandy, bourbon, and a touch of scotch creates a layered, spirit-forward profile. The demerara syrup provides just enough weight to anchor the orchard fruit and smoke.

A fantastic modern classic from the Death & Co. team! The split base of apple brandy, bourbon, and scotch is so clever. A perfect choice for a cool evening.
