I tried this with some trepidation, but this isn't bad- maybe what an appletini wants to be. I rarely reach for my applejack (laird's) or sloe gin (bitter truth) and am trying to find good ways to utilize them so I can make room for something else. The tart/apple/herbal combination is nice, though on the sweet side.

Yeah, a little too sweet/syrupy for me but great flavors. Have to figure out what our balance is ...
