The Applejack Cocktail

Описание: This drink was created by Sasha Petraske of Milk & Honey in the early 2000's. It was adapted from a drink from Harry Craddock's Savoy Cocktail Book published in 1930. It's a great example of how older recipes can be restructured into new ones and be elevated into something wholly it's own. And this was the brilliance behind the Milk & Honey (and by extension Sasha Petraske's) Ethos. Small tweaks make for big changes. It's the style of bartending that makes the most sense to me and I'm so happy that this approach lives on through the many bars and bartenders who worked and studied directly under Petraske.

October is National Applejack Month so many of you know that I lean heavily into this spirit in the beginning of Fall. It is one of, if not my most favorite spirit and it really reminds me of Fall in Massachusetts where I grew up. Every time It touches my lips I'm transported to Apple Picking with my family and tasting freshly presses Apple Cider. The idea that this spirit is not better known and appreciated has always been a sore spot for me. It has deeper history than whiskey, it's our first native spirit and it works as a brilliant substitution for any cocktail with a Barrel aged spirit in the driver's seat. Laird's is there company that originated this spirit in a commercial sense and is, I believe the oldest operating distillery in the country and is able to claim they were the first licensed distillery as well. So go forth, drink Applejack and prosper my dear Barflies! And as always...I'll see you on another time!
