CORNELIUS APPLEJACK: Upsetting the Apple-Car

Pinky Mixology Presents: Applejack-Off 2014
Focus on CORNELIUS APPLEJACK:
The Applejack Side Car.

Applejack was a staple of resistance during Prohibition in America, being made all over the East Coast. The Sidecar cocktail was invented during Prohibition and became a favorite choice of Americans who lived close enough to an international border to get to a real bar, and it most likely gave birth to the Margarita down in Old Mexico. So why not combine these double middle fingers so riotously flipped to the tea-totaling prohibitionists, into one awesome cocktail; The Applecar, with Harvest Spirits Cornelius Applejack.

It’s simple but classic, and here’s how to do it.




















Yes we did buy actual Triple sec and we split it with a third party, so we’re not going to shame ourselves but revealing the brand but let’s just say we’re not proud.  Go for Cointreau if you can afford it.





We treated this like our original Margarita in terms of shaking with ice and then pouring it out on the rocks.













Cornelius Applejack is unique in terms of the applejack labels we've had.  It's got a bit of a raw quality to it but none of the harshness that moonshine or white whiskey does.  Like good whiskey has a vanilla quality with no vanilla in it, so too does Cornelius Applejack have a cinnamon tinge but has no cinnamon added to it.  So as such, it goes with a cinnamon garnish in anything either hot or cold.
