Hawaiian Brandy
Like most cocktail recipes with the word “Hawaiian” in them, the Hawaiian Brandy is fruity and sweet. Its main ingredient is Calvados, an apple brandy from Lower Normandy.

The Phoebe Snow is named after a fictional character from a railroad advertising campaign. Her dress remained white as snow because her train ran on anthracite instead of coal. This cocktail recipe dates back to at least 1941, but don’t expect your average bartender in a chain restaurant to have heard of it. Phoebe Snow is a bit of a lost classic.
Valentine’s Day seems like a perfect time to revive this one.
