The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far from the Walnut Tree
- 1.5 oz. Apple brandy (Laird’s bonded)
- 0.75 oz. Rothman & Winter Orchard Pear liqueur
- 0.5 oz. Cardamaro
- 0.25 oz. walnut liqueur (Nux Alpina)
- dash of orange bitters
Stir with ice then strain into glass.
I started with the Nux Alpina and it just naturally paired with the Laird’s. A little bit of sweet pear and then Cardamaro for some brightness nearly completed it, with the bitters rounding it out.
Does the name need an explanation? Not really. Just sip and enjoy.
