The Green Harvest cocktail sits at the intersection of orchard freshness and whiskey depth. Earthy, fruit-forward, and quietly expressive, this drink bridges the gap between a tea room and a distillery with remarkable ease. It’s low in acid but high in nuance, built for those who appreciate flavor without sharpness or excess.

Bourbon provides the foundation, bringing warmth, structure, and subtle spice. Green tea adds tannin and earth, acting as a drying counterpoint that keeps the drink grounded and composed. Apple juice introduces soft, natural sweetness, lending freshness and a gentle fruit note without tipping the cocktail into sugary territory. Together, these elements create a profile that feels calm, balanced, and intentionally restrained.

Green Harvest is visually striking in its simplicity. Shaken and double strained into a coupe, it presents a pale amber hue that feels natural and unforced. A floating apple disc reinforces the drink’s orchard character, while a touch of lemon zest brightens the aroma and sharpens the edges just enough.

This is a cocktail that rewards slow sipping. It doesn’t chase brightness or intensity. Instead, it unfolds gradually, offering depth, texture, and quiet complexity. Green Harvest is thoughtful, seasonal, and grounded, a modern cocktail designed for moments when subtlety matters more than spectacle.

Shaken or Stirred? Shaken. Shaking integrates the tea and apple juice while chilling the drink thoroughly. Double straining ensures a clean, refined texture.
