Cocktail Recipes

Empire

Another fantastic Autumn cocktail, the Empire is another drink which takes advantage of the Fall Flavors. I stumbled upon this one in an old bar bible from1940 and never looked back. I’m a huge Calvados fan (Apple Brandy) and must sample every cocktail I find which includes it. This is a quiet drink, one that you’ll enjoy drinking alone or with another quiet person on a chilly evening. Throw on that Cardigan and have an Empire.

Here we go –

  • ½ ounce Calvados
  • ½ ounce Apricot Brandy
  • 1 ounce Gin

Shake with cracked ice in an old shaker. Pour into a small cocktail/martini glass. Garnish with a maraschino cherry.
