This was fantastic. Used Calvados, smoky French single-malt whisky, and Angostura. Perfect fall cocktail.

Mike

Delicious as is. I don't think brand of bitters matters too much - at least not to me. I was happy with Angostura. I've used the Bowmore 12 and the Legend, both to good effect.

Cleo

I doubled the cider - didn't think most of my guests would drink it as written. Great flavors.

Nancy

I bought some locally distilled applejack and needed a cocktail. This really hit the spot. I make it with Jack Ruby Cocktail Company aromatics bitters. I plan on serving these before Thanksgiving dinner.
