Full Harvest Cocktail

For those that know us, Halloween sucks up a large segment of our time in the fall, so posts have been slow here at the FWL. However, the next drink is too ideal for the season to ignore for an October posting; an apple bouquet with brandy and honey. Plus it is quintessential Wisconsin. The base spirit is a Wisconsin supper club standby, B&B, a mixture of cognac and Benedictine. To this we add Madison's own Old Sugar Factory dry honey liqueur and a dash of Milwaukee's Bittercube Bolivar bitters. Simply Apple apple juice rounds out the drink, balancing the flavors and providing a palate-pleasing experience that you can watch the autumn colors change by.
