Cocktail Description
A brilliant amber concoction that brings together the soul of Normandy's apple orchards and the sophistication of French aperitifs in perfect harmony.
The Princess Mary's Pride showcases aged apple brandy's rich fruit and oak character, beautifully complemented by Lillet Rouge's wine-forward sweetness and the herbaceous refinement of dry vermouth. This elegant cocktail strikes a delicate balance between fruity sweetness and botanical complexity, with a subtle tannic structure and bright orange notes from the expressed garnish. Perfect for autumn evenings or as a contemplative nightcap, it makes an exceptional pre-dinner drink when you want something more substantial than a typical aperitif. The preparation is straightforward—a simple shake and strain—though the true magic lies in maintaining proper proportions between the three distinguished spirits. Pair this sophisticated sipper with charcuterie featuring aged cheeses and apple slices, duck confit, or even a rustic apple tart to highlight the cocktail's orchard fruit foundations.
