Rachael's husband, John, shakes up a cocktail made with apple brandy, ginger beer + cinnamon simple syrup, garnished with a crisp apple slice.
John gave this drink its name because it's made with apple brandy, has an apple garnish and tastes like...apples! He added lemon to balance out the sweetness.
Pair his cocktail with Rach's Pumpkin Pasta.
