Sunken Orchard Old Fashioned

**Description:** The Sunken Orchard Old Fashioned is a sophisticated and multi-layered cocktail that combines the richness of Christian Brothers VSOP brandy with the fruity complexity of Bols Apricot brandy. This innovative drink is enhanced by the smoky, herbal notes of Amaro Sfumato and further deepened with Southern Tier Pumking coffee and cream pumpkin liqueur, adding a unique twist. A touch of cardamom bitters and a splash of brown sugar simple syrup balance out the flavors, making this a perfect autumnal cocktail.
