Popular since the late 1920s, Applejack Rabbit is a cocktail for the season with its warm Autumnal hues and flavours. For me, it is also the occasion to remember my Summer holiday in Deauville as Mum and I brought back Pommeau de Normandie from the farmer's market there! Happy Friday!

Ingredients (serves 1):

8 ice cubes

60 millilitres/2 fluid ounces (4 tablespoons) Pommeau de Normandie or other apple brandy

1/2 large lemon

1/2 a small, juicy orange

15 millilitres/1/2 fluid ounce (1 tablespoon) Grade A Canadian Maple Syrup

Place ice cubes in a shaker.

Pour Pommeau over the ice.

Throughly squeeze the juice of the lemon and orange halves, and pour over the ice as well, along with Maple Syrup.

Close shaker tightly, and shake energetically until well-chilled.

Strain into a chilled coupe glass.

Apple Brandy, On the Rocks The Liquors Kilian Nose: Sidonie Lancesseur

Woody amber

Inspired by the city of New York, KILIAN PARIS introduces its new addition to the Liquors olfactive family: Apple Brandy on the Rocks, an olfactive soundtrack to nightlife’s liberation to come. Apple Brandy was first conceived with perfumer Sidonie Lancesseur for the opening of KILIAN PARIS’s New York flagship eight years ago. The fragrance returns, featuring the original apple brandy core but, this time, with an added uplift—KILIAN PARIS’s signature “on the rocks” accord blended into the opening for an ice-cold liquored delight expressing a uniquely KILIAN PARIS character. A blend of bergamot, apple brandy and cardamon, the accord cools down the original, adding excitement and modernity. This fresh opening of Apple Brandy on the Rocks unfolds into the perfume’s core personality: a distinctive apple brandy accord, in which a crisp fruity blend harmonizes with brandy—recreated using notes of rum for the liquor aspect, moss and vanilla. Upon a core structure of cedarwood and ambroxan, the scent carries sophistication into the night. It captures the constant reincarnation and incontestable elegance of the ‘Big Apple’—most especially that of its legendary nightlife.
