Yield: 1 cocktail
Cuisine: Cocktail
Ingredients: 60 ml Apple Brandy; 1 twst Lemon Twist; 15 ml Sweet Vermouth; 8 ml Dry Sherry; 15 ml Amaro Nardini

A stirred coupe built on 60 ml apple brandy, rounded out by sweet vermouth and a little dry sherry. Amaro Nardini adds a bitter edge, and the lemon twist lifts the aroma.

Frederic Yarm created the Orchard Street in 2021 as a variation on Five Points from Death & Co. Denver and its relative Carroll Gardens, which share Punt e Mes and Amaro Nardini but differ in base spirit and nutty element. Aged apple brandy takes the base role and oxidized dry sherry supplies the nuttiness, a choice informed by the It's a Long, Long Way from Wit's End. The apple theme suggested the name of Orchard Street on Manhattan's Lower East Side, a short walk from Five Points.
