Walnut Jack

Carl Amoth's Bar

Makes 2 cocktails

Apple brandy and nocino read like pie in a glass—maple and lemon keep it from going sweet.

Ingredients
  • 4 oz apple brandy (Laird's Tenth Generation)
  • 1 oz nocino (Nux Alpina)
  • 1 ½ oz fresh lemon juice
  • ½ oz cinnamon demerara syrup
  • 2 large egg whites
Method
  1. Dry shake about 15 seconds.
  2. Add ice and shake about 20 seconds; double strain into coupes.
  3. Grate fresh nutmeg over the top.

Note. Sub 1 oz homemade grenadine for the maple to lean closer to a true Jack Rose. Skip the egg whites for a leaner drink.
