The Yankee

Even back in the 1860s, not all drinks were simply iterations on the major templates --- there were one-offs, too. This liqueur-laced sour is inspired by a Jerry Thomas original called the Knickerbocker, wherein we swap out rum and raspberry syrup in favor of autumnal apple brandy and Concord grenadine.

INGREDIENTS

1¾ oz. apple brandy
1 oz. lime juice
¾ oz. Concord grape grenadine
½ oz. Curaçao
