I love trying new ingredients, learning new techniques, and of course, creating new cocktails-- especially ones influenced by food in some way. I also love the photography/videography side of things. I’m incredibly passionate about my craft but try not to take myself too seriously. Cheers!...

Combine all ingredients. Allow coffee to infuse for ~5 minutes. Stir with ice until chilled; strain over a large block of ice. Express and discard the lemon peel. Garnish with dehydrated apple.

Editor's Note

Apple brandy and coffee‑infused bourbon give this Old Fashioned an autumnal edge that stands out from the classic template.
