Much Fuss for the Conquering Hero

A fruity, slightly sweet cocktail where apricot brandy and Applejack bring orchard and stone-fruit notes over a herbaceous sweet vermouth backbone, brightened by a touch of pineapple and lemon and lifted with orange bitters. It pours a warm amber-pink and is crisp and chilled in a cocktail glass. Worth trying if you like layered, spirit-forward drinks that balance fruit sweetness with aromatic complexity.
