color in your cheeks

1 1/4 oz Fernet Branca
1/2 oz Laird's Applejack
3/4 oz Lemon Juice
3/4 oz Maple Syrup
1 Egg White

Shake one round without ice and one round with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with a Granny Smith apple fan.
Two Wednesdays ago, Andrea and I made an overnight excursion to Portland, Maine. After dinner, we headed out for cocktails at the Portland Hunt & Alpine Club. There, I asked the bartender for the Color in Your Cheeks; I did not inquire about the recipe for this creation by Hayley Wilson had been published in Punch Drinks. Once served, it donated an apple and minty aroma to the nose. Next, a creamy lemon sip lit up into a Fernet minty-menthol, maple, and apple swallow.
