Yet another splendid reason to drink Applejack, the Whist is another one of those drinks that tastes from another time. You can use either Applejack or its wealthier brother Calvados. I actually prefer the cheaper AJ. I’m a seasonal drinker and enjoy this one more in the Autumn.

Here we go –

• 1 oz Applejack or Calvados
• ½ oz light or white Rum
• ½ oz Sweet Vermouth

Stir three ingredients with ice in a mixing glass or glass pitcher, strain into cocktail glass and watch the leaves fall.
