  • Very nice. Also good with whiskey subbed for 1/2 of the apple brandy. Would like to try subbing cognac for 1/2 of the apple brandy.
  • The Benedictine adds enough gravitas so that this works well, though it's not super exciting. Reminds me of apples that have been sprinkled with lemon juice to keep them from browning. — ★★★★★
  • used laird's bonded Apple brandy, quite good

Corey,

I flagged this for moderation with Dan - he'll clean it up. Can you post a link to the proper recipe? Thanks.

I got this recipe from Ted Haigh's book. I'm guessing the curacao got lot when I imported it from one database to the other because of the c-cedilla.
