Apple Brandy Cocktail

A great cocktail tonight - after tennis for Olga this afternoon - I mostly just observed, but served a few times, albeit somewhat painfully.


This cocktail, an 'Apple Brandy Cocktail' (page 32 in the Bartender's Guide) was a return to the traditional cocktails after the sweet one last night.

1 1/2 oz Apple Brandy (Laird's)
1 teaspoon Grenadine
1 teaspoon Lemon juice (Meyer)

Shake with ice and strain into cocktail glass.


I used my birthday present to serve the drinks tonight. Olga gave me a pair of AU (Auburn Univ.) cocktail glasses. Tomorrow I'll use Christmas glasses our very kind neighbors just gave us. That should help get us in the spirit (or spirits) of the season!

Cheers!
