Apple Jack Rabbit
Shake, strain, serve up.
This is the PDT version. http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2011/10/applejack-rabbit-classic-app…
Originally written as a hooker (about 1 1/2 oz) each of applejack and syrup and the juice of a lemon and an orange -- a huge and revoltingly sweet drink. Embury suggests 6:1:1:1

- No bad, but pretty sweet. Tried with a dash of absinthe, but that didn't really do much for me.

I had been adding a dash or two of absinthe to this (PDT) version of the recipe:
2oz Laird's Bonded Apple Brandy
3/4oz Lemon Juice
3/4oz Orange Juice
1/2oz Grade B Maple Syrup

I tried this both as written and with bourbon (because, uh, I goofed). Both are interesting. I also tried the absinthe garnish, but I think it overwhelmed it because I used too much (more of a float). I think if I actually had a dropper bottle, I might have liked it more. It is a very mild-mannered cocktail -- a good choice for someone looking for something relaxing and easy-to-drink. It's also a good introduction to apple brandy.
