Liberty cocktail

by Jen

The Liberty cocktail is simple and sweet, but not in the usual fruity/candy way so many drinks are. This cocktail is almost straight alcohol, so there’s nothing frou-frou about the Liberty. It’s definitely got a bite.

Liberty is wonderful for sipping along during a quiet evening when you just want one cocktail to relax you. It’s also an easy pre-mixer for parties. Serve it with goodies or sip it when you’re just planning to have s drink or two.

Liberty

• 2 ounces Calvados apple brandy
• 1 ounce light rum
• 1/4 ounce simple syrup
• Squeeze of lime (optional)

Shake everything with ice and strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a lime wedge if you like.

As I said above, you may want to serve this cocktail with some nibbles. Sliced apples and cheese would be a great option.
