Autumn Leaves Sonata

Inspired by the iconic jazz standard "Autumn Leaves," this cocktail embodies the soulful transition from late summer into fall, with the warm, nutty flavors of the Prohibition Spirits Hazelnut Brandy Liqueur taking center stage. Just like the song's smooth and introspective journey through melody, this drink offers a complex savor that's perfect for reflective evenings. **Ingredients:** - 1.5 oz Prohibition Spirits Hazelnut Brandy Liqueur - 1 oz Calvados (apple brandy) - 0.5 oz Amaro (preferably one with cinnamon or orange notes) - 2 dashes of Angostura bitters - 1 dash of orange bitters - Apple slice and a cinnamon stick, for garnish - Ice **Instructions:** 1. In a cocktail shaker, combine the Hazelnut Brandy Liqueur, Calvados, Amaro, Angostura bitters, and orange bitters. 2.

Garnish with an apple slice and a cinnamon stick. 5. Serve immediately, perhaps with a side of soft jazz playing in the background, letting the music and the drink harmonize to create a moment of pure autumnal bliss. **Glassware:** Old-fashioned glass This cocktail, with its blend of rich hazelnut, crisp apple, and complex bitter notes, is like a cozy jazz club in a glass – inviting you to savor the melody of flavors slowly and with great pleasure.
