This cocktail is a layered wintry sipper, full of warm, inviting flavors: deep spice notes from Aquavit – Private Reserve and Vacation Curaçao, along with bright orange, smooth apple and subtle rum notes. It’s the perfect cocktail to pair with a delicious meal, or even an excellent dessert – or, if you just want a cozy night in.
