About
I came up with this cocktail as a fall Mai Tai riff. Rather than an orange curaçao, I use an apple brandy (Applejack or Calvados). To solidify those apple notes, I add a dash of apple bitters. For rums, choose your own blend. I tend to go with half Jamaican rum and half aged rum.Cheers y’all!
