Quick question - Laird's Applejack is 80 proof, not bonded. The picture (I think) shows the 100 proof Bonded apple brandy. Is what you're using here?

Thanks,

Zachary

I used Wisniowka (Polish Cherry Cordial) and Angostura Bitters. It's got a sweet/sour taste to it, and combination of the orange/lime/bitters gives the taste of grapefruit. Rather enjoyed it!

Carpool

3⁄4 oz Brandy (Cheap American VSOP)
3⁄4 oz Apple brandy, Lairds 7.5 (or Calvados)
3⁄4 oz Curaçao, Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice

Shake with ice, strain into cocktail glass. If desired, garnish with lemon twist or wedge.

Notes

I used Paul Masson VSOP, but I imagine E&J, Christian Brothers, etc. will work just as well...

This is my Sidecar variation. There are many others like it, but this one is mine...

I missed on first reading that this calls for Laird's 7.5 year - I used regular Laird's bonded and it was very, very dry.
