An Old-Fashioned Whiskey Cocktail is a simple mixture of whiskey, sugar, bitters and a citrus peel. It is a sublimely simple and delicious preparation for a wide range of spirits besides just whiskey—rum, tequila, brandy—and a fine apple brandy is no exception. Showcasing the earthy flavor of fermented apples with just a bit of sugar and bitters is a perfect preparation to enjoy classic holiday flavors in a new way.

Apple Brandy Old-Fashioned Recipe

oz simple syrup OR 1 sugar cube

Angostura bitters

oz apple brandy (such as Clear Creek)

lemon twist

If using sugar, place the sugar cube in the bottom of the glass and add the 2 dashes of bitters. Muddle well to blend the sugar and bitters, then add a few drops of water and stir to dissolve the sugar.

If using simple syrup, add the syrup and bitters to the glass.

Place a large chunk of ice into the glass filled with sugar and bitters and add the apple brandy. Stir well to incorporate the sugar and brandy.

Twist the lemon peel over the top, drop it into the glass and serve.

Rub a wedge of lime around the rim of a martini glass. Pour some of the sugar onto a shallow plate and then dip the rim of the martini glass into the sugar to coat the rim.

Add the vodka, triple sec and lime juice and 2 1/2 teaspoons of sugar to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake well and then pour into the rimmed martini glass.

This is a good recipe; nice &amp; tart.  The sugar on the rim is key to balancing the acid.  I used a very grainy turbinado sugar, which added a sweet crunch to each sip.  Copied it down, this is a keeper.
