Inspiration

The Empire State averages about 29.5 million bushels of apples annually and which are grown on about 55,000 acres in six major production districts. Even with all of those apples, New Yorkers won't shy at the chance to get another taste in! That's why this cocktail embodies the apple flavor. 

Mixology

2 oz. Cornelius AppleJack
.5 oz Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur
1/4 tsp Sugar
2 Dashes of Bitters
Lemon twist 

Muddle 1/4 tsp sugar with 2 dashes bitters, fill pint with ice and 2 ounces AppleJack and 1/2 ounce Maraschino Liqueur shake and strain into chilled martini glass, garnish with lemon twist
