About The Applejack Rabbit Cocktail

This drink first appeared in Judge Jr.’s 1927 tome, “Here’s How.” Jim Meehan ups the lemon juice quotient a hair from the original, giving the luxurious notes of the Laird’s bonded apple brandy and maple syrup a bit more backbone.

This recipe originally appeared as part of “The Drink That Changed My Life: Lisa Laird Dunn on the Applejack Drink That Started a Revolution.”
