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.

Just so happens I'm drinking some Apple whiskey tonight. Hmm...
