As far as we're concerned, winter may as well be known as applejack season, because there's nothing we crave more in the colder months than a cocktail like this sherry, orgeat and créme de noyaux-tinged beauty from Trick Dog bartender Caitlin Laman.

Chapman Cobbler
1 oz. applejack
1 oz. amontillado
¾ oz. orgeat
¾ oz. fresh lemon juice
1 barspoon crème de noyaux (Laman uses Tempus Fugit)
Tools: shaker
Glass: double Old Fashioned
Garnish: lemon wheel

Combine all ingredients in a shaker tin filled with crushed ice. Flash-shake and dump into a double Old Fashioned glass. Garnish.
