Jeffrey Morgenthaler created the Flannel Shirt at Clyde Common in Portland, Oregon, as part of his seasonal cocktail program. The drink captures Pacific Northwest fall in a glass—cozy, warming, and evocative of apple orchards and crisp evenings. Morgenthaler chose blended Scotch for its gentle smokiness, which pairs beautifully with fresh apple cider and warm baking spices from allspice dram. The lemon juice brightens the drink while Angostura bitters add depth. Named for the quintessential fall garment, the Flannel Shirt has become a seasonal favorite and exemplifies Morgenthaler's philosophy of accessible, delicious cocktails.
