#applejack rabbit

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.

For a cocktail that is both refreshing and restorative, and also a toast to the season with its amber hue and its orchard crispness, mix yourself an Applejack Rabbit! Happy Friday!
