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.

Here we go -

  • 1 1/2 oz Calvados (French Apple Brandy)
  • 3/4 oz Madeira
  • 1/2 oz Benedictine
  • 1/4 oz Angostura bitters

Combine ingredients in a mixing glass or tall cocktail pitcher with ice and stir till cold. Pour/strain into pretty cocktail glass and garnish with fresh grated nutmeg and a thin twist of apple peel.
