This one is from a great cocktail spot in NYC called Little Branch. It’s two strong liquors, but the apple brandy with a touch of simple combine to make it a pretty approachable aperitif.
1 oz Rittenhouse bottled-in-bond rye
1 oz Laird’s bottled-in-bond apple brandy
¼ oz simple syrup
Shake with ice, strain into a Nick & Nora glass, and garnish with an orange twist.
