Grandma's Pie, Hold the Fork
The Doctor's legend claims his great-grandmother once baked an apple pie so good it settled a duel — and the liqueur bearing the family name chases the same effect. It takes the familiar comfort of fresh-baked apple pie — cinnamon, nutmeg, caramelized brown sugar — and bottles it at an easy-drinking 42 proof. It is the rare liqueur that works equally well as a party shot and as the secret weapon in fall entertaining.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Fresh-baked apple pie — cinnamon, nutmeg and a hint of caramel. Palate: Rich, sweet apple with comforting spice, medium-bodied and smoothly warm. Finish: Lingering sweetness with a gentle touch of spice.
How to Enjoy
Serve it chilled as a shot that tastes like dessert, or warm it into spiked cider for peak autumn. It also elevates holiday punch and mixes into an easy apple-pie-and-cream cocktail. Find more flavored liqueurs at Del Mesa Liquor, or browse other Dr. McGillicuddy's flavors for the shot lineup.
