Pomme en Croute Cocktail
[Photograph: Rachel Tepper]
This recipe is a twist on the Brandy Crusta, a classic New Orleans cocktail from the 1850s. Chris Hannah, a bartender at Arnaud's French 75, dreamed up this cocktail (which was featured in Food & Wine Cocktails 2012.)
Coupling applejack with Campari, lemon, and orange juice, this tart drink is best enjoyed with a hearty coating of sugar on the rim.
