As a fellow Turkey drinker you may or may not be interested in the experimental drink. I'll share what I'm working on (was working on, I've gone to straight Turkey and water now) and let you decide.
The concept I had was a seasonal autumnish drink. I was not the bartender so these were not made to my
exact specs.
1st attempt
Equal parts Turkey and Crown Apple
2-3 dashes bitters
Cran
Lemon twist
The Crown Apple over powered here. Tasted like a Washington Apple shot, which I love, but is not what I was going for.
2nd attempt
Turkey
A little less Crown (she realized after the fact she grabbed the regular and not the apple)
Splash of amaretto
2-3 splashes bitters
Cran
Lemon twist
I really liked this. The bitters really came through in the aroma adding to the "spice" aspect I was looking for in the drink. But I also really wanted apple to be a part of the flavor profile. So...
Third attempt
Same as above but with Crown Apple instead of regular Crown. Lost a bit of the bitters but over all delicious. Could probably use a tax more tweaking (exact pours mostly), but I'm in the zone.
