Laird’s Apple Brandy, sage honey, lemon juice, and Peychaud’s Bitters are finished with a spray of Laphroaig in this cocktail recipe from Rob Hirst at Hey Babe. The scotch opens the tastebuds, making the notes of apple and honey more complex and more seductively delicious. Why does that 1980 hit by The Police, Don’t Stand So Close to Me, come to mind?
