The Forbidden Fruit was mixologist Aisha Sharpe’s response to a challenge from Liquor.com: how many holiday flavors can you cram into one glass? This drink is the perfect answer, and it’s so good it deserves to be drunk year-round.
Sharpe uses Pimm’s No. 1 for the gin apertif, but if you have access to any of the other varieties of Pimm’s, feel free to try them out – we’ve been on the lookout for their occasional holiday special release, Pimm’s No. 3 Winter Cup.
She also calls for Laird’s Straight Bottled in Bond Apple Brandy. If you can’t get that in your area, applejack or calvados will still produce a fine drink.
