TOM'S FOOLERY APPLEJACK: Tom's Toddy

PINKY MIXOLOGY 2014 APPLEJACK-OFF
Tom's Foolery Applejack day 3:
Tom's Toddy

The Toddy is popping up all over cocktail culture these days, and if you're still in the deep freeze (or if you just feel cold), we bring you an applejack variation we call Tom's Toddy, as it's made with Tom's Foolery Applejack.

That's basically just under 2 shots of Applejack and a shot glass full of raw sugar.

You know exactly the tea we're talking about.

While simple, this gives you the chance to taste the great quality of Tom's Foolery Applejack in a warm way (something tells us that no matter how awesome it is, we wouldn't want to have 130 degree Applejack just by itself.)  Of course, the amount of sugar is subject to your own tastes, and we noticed that a shot glass full puts it a bit far on the sweet side for us.  You can also add bitteres to this as well, and it's pretty good that way.

Now not to say this underwhelmed us, but the Hot Old Fashioned (Hold-Fashioned...?) was so amazing, that if we ever to a warm drink with applejack, we think that one will always be our #1 choice.
