The Mr. October was created as a fall cocktail, using Laird’s bonded apple brandy as a base. Cinnamon syrup, lemon juice, Galliano liqueur, a couple of dashes of allspice liqueur and freshly ground nutmeg add to the seasonality. This cocktail tastes not only like apple pie, but apple pie à la mode, thanks to Galliano’s vanilla notes. —Robert Simonson
