Cuisine: Cocktail
Ingredients: 15 ml Simple Syrup; 60 ml Apple Brandy; 23 ml Orange Juice; 23 ml Lemon Juice

Apple brandy shaken with orange and lemon juice and a little simple syrup, giving a fruity, tart drink where the apple stays in front. Found in the Savoy Cocktail Book from the 1930s.

The Savoy Cocktail Book's 1930s recipe for the Apple Jack Rabbit was strong and very sweet, with roughly 1½ oz of applejack, the same amount of syrup, and the juice of one lemon and one orange. Embury recommended a ratio of 6:1:1:1 instead.
