Skip to main content
1 1⁄2 oz Apple brandy (I used Laird's Bonded; Calvados would work well too.)
1⁄2 oz Swedish Punsch
1⁄2 oz Aromatized wine, Cocchi Americano (Lillet Blanc is a good choice too.)
1⁄4 oz Mezcal
1⁄4 oz Amer Picon
1 twst Orange peel (As garnish.)
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain into a cocktail glass, and garnish with an orange twist.

Notes

Apple, caramel, smoky agave, tea, and dark orange flavors; a rather Fall-inspired drink.

History

I was inspired by the Rocket from The Pioneers of Mixing at Elite Bars: 1903-1933 book and I made a few ingredient swaps. I held the Swedish punsch and Picon constant, changed brandy to apple brandy and sweet vermouth to Lillet/Cocchi Americano and added mezcal for a smoky note to complement the apple brandy.
