On this Thanksgiving Thursday, we show appreciation for the American Trilogy, a distinctly American riff on the Old Fashioned. We’re joined by returning friend of the show Richie Boccato, the drink’s co-creator and owner of New York’s Dutch Kills bar and Hundredweight Ice company. Listen on to learn the story behind the American Trilogy and to learn Boccato’s recipe —  and don’t forget to like, review, and subscribe!    Richie Boccato’s American Triology Recipe    Ingredients    - 1 ounce applejack, such as Laird’s Bottled in Bond  - 1 ounce rye whiskey, such as Michter’s  - 1 cube Demerara sugar  - 2 dashes orange bitters (1:1 mix of Fee Brothers and Regans’)  - 1 splash soda water    Directions    1.
