Summary

The Island Harvest blends the orchard charm of Lowertown Apple Bourbon with the tropical vibrance of orange liqueur, orgeat, demerara, and lime. Served in a tiki glass and garnished with a fan of apple slices, it’s a perfect fall-meets-paradise cocktail—nutty, bright, and unexpectedly transportive.

Riff Ideas:

  • Spiced Harvest: Add a dash of allspice dram or cinnamon syrup for warm spice notes.

  • Apple Colada: Swap orange liqueur for coconut cream and blend with crushed ice for a frozen treat.

  • Pearadise Lost: Replace orgeat with pear syrup and garnish with a slice of fresh pear.

  • Harvest Heat: Muddle jalapeño or add a bar spoon of chili-infused honey for a fiery twist.
