Grandma’s Apple Rye

Recipe courtesy of  Nathan Osborne, Bar Manager of Blackberry Farm

1.5 oz. Hudson Manhattan Rye Whiskey
1 oz. brown sugar syrup (1 1/2 cup light brown sugar + 1/2 cup white sugar + 1 cup hot water)
2 dashes Fee Brothers Aromatic Bitters
2 slices apple (Something local is best, but you probably have access to several varieties in your grocery store. Try to use a sweeter apple to help balance the spicy rye flavor, ideally a Wine Sap, Rome Beauty or Pink Lady if you can find them.)
1 cinnamon stick (as garnish)

In a Collins glass, muddle the apple to release the juice. Add ice, whiskey, bitters and syrup. Give a quick shake and pour all contents into a heavy rocks glass (including the chunks of apple). Garnish with the cinnamon stick.

BACON-INFUSED BOURBON

Recipe courtesy of  Laura Silverman

375 ml bourbon, such as Tuthilltown’s Baby Bourbon
2 slices smoky bacon, cooked to render ¾ oz fat

Decant the bourbon into a large glass jar with a wide mouth.
Fry the bacon in a skillet to render the fat.
Once it’s cooled a bit, strain the fat into the jar of bourbon.
Let it sit out for about 6 hours and then put it in the freezer.
Once the fat is completely hardened, scoop it all out with a slotted spoon.

Tuthilltown Spiked Eggnog

Recipe courtesy of Cheryl Paff

Check out Cheryl Paff’s blog Click here: www.atthefarmersmarket

4 eggs
0.25 Cup Pure Maple Syrup
0.5  tsp Vanilla Extract
1 Quart Whole Milk – Cream on top if you can find it
Fresh Nutmeg
Hudson Baby Bourbon

Separate the egg yolks and whites. Beat the yolks with the maple syrup and vanilla. Use a darker maple syrup because it has more flavor, so look for Dark Amber or a Grade B. Beat the milk into the egg yolk mixture. If you can find a milk with cream on top, use that. It will add some richness. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy and pour them into the bowl with the milk. Beat to incorporate. At this point you can either grate some fresh nutmeg into each batch or wait and allow guests to grate the nutmeg into their glasses themselves…because there is nothing quite as lovely as the smell of freshly ground nutmeg. If you like your eggnog with a little kick, try adding some bourbon, Tuthilltown’s Hudson Baby Bourbon is made from 100% New York corn.

Egg Nog


4 eggs
.25 Cup Pure Maple Syrup
.5  tsp Vanilla Extract
1 Quart Whole Milk – Cream on top if you can find it
