We first discovered this little gem on the cocktail spirit with robert hess, a wonderfully educational channel on the small screen network website. Its easy to make and layered with delightful flavor, but it can be a bit too sweet if youre using regular ol applejack. A higher-proof apple brandy like lairds bottled-in-bond or some calvados gives this drink the kick it needs. If you dont have it, just pull back on the orgeat a bit. Hess calls for lime juice, but lemon juice also works here we almost prefer it
