Death of a Disco Dancer

Chill a cocktail coupe in advance to ensure a properly cool drink.

Combine the rye, apple brandy, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker.

Add a few dashes of bitters to the mixture.

Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously to blend and chill the ingredients.

Double strain the mixture into the prepared cocktail coupe to remove ice shards and ensure a smooth texture.

Garnish with a pecan sandie or praline to enhance the flavor profile and presentation.
