APPLEJACK MIXED DRINK CRACKED
Shake the first four ingredients with cracked ice strain into a chilled cocktail glass. All of them are guaranteed to spice up your holiday gatherings this season. Here are three applejack/apple brandy cocktails I have field-tested and perfected. For cocktail purposes, you’ll want to use the standard Laird’s applejack (which blends apple brandy with neutral spirits and water to make an 80-proof hooch) or the harder to find, but vastly superior, 100 proof bottled-in-bond variety. Their 12 year-old apple brandy is, like a good calvados, excellent for sipping neat – next to the aforementioned hearth or anywhere at all. Laird & Company, from New Jersey, has been making applejack and apple brandy since 1780.
(I’m skeptical, even though Becherovka is quite delicious, and Becherovka tastes almost exactly like pumpkin pie.)īut this year, why not do something a little more classic, a little more old-school, for your holiday drinking companions? Make them cocktails based on applejack, or apple brandy, the oldest American-distilled spirits. These days, you can even buy something called “ apple pie liqueur” at your local BevMo. With such images dancing in everyone’s heads, it’s only fitting that we sip holiday cocktails that highlight flavors such as apple, cinnamon, and nutmeg.Īll kinds of tasty beverages fit in this category, from nogs to toddys to Tom & Jerrys. This time of year, we take comfort in seasonal flavors that bring to mind desserts eaten with loved ones, around a roaring fire or around the Yule Log channel in HD.
