1
Combine and chill
Add Maker's Mark bourbon (2 oz), Granpoppy amaro (0.5 oz), Licor 43 (0.5 oz), green apple syrup (0.75 oz), fresh lemon juice (0.5 oz) and 2 dashes orange bitters into a mixing glass or cocktail shaker.
2
Add ice and stir
Fill the mixing glass with ice (about 1 cup) and stir briskly for 20–30 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted. If you prefer a slightly frothier texture, shake vigorously for 8–10 seconds instead.
3
Strain
Double-strain the cocktail into a chilled old-fashioned glass over one large ice cube or into a rocks glass with fresh ice to keep it cold without over-dilution.

4
Express the lemon twist over the drink by holding it skin-side down and giving it a quick squeeze to release oils, then rub the rim of the glass with the twist and drop it in or rest it on the edge.
5
Float or fan a thin green apple slice on top of the drink for aroma and visual contrast. Serve immediately.
