Prime Inspector

A fall-ready, slightly bitter, fruit-forward cocktail that mirrors the structure of a Boulevardier but uses apple brandy for a fruitier base. Balanced between low, mid, and bright bitter tones, it’s a compact, seasonally warming sipper served over a large cube with a cherry garnish.

Chill a rocks glass in the freezer for 10 minutes so the glass is cold when serving.

Measure and add apple brandy, Averna, Punt e Mes, and Peychaud's Bitters into a mixing glass. Add about 200 g of ice to fill the mixing glass.

Prepare the serving: place a single large ice cube in the chilled rocks glass (or use a single large cube already in the glass).

Strain the stirred mixture from the mixing glass into the prepared rocks glass over the large ice cube.

Garnish the strained cocktail with a maraschino cherry: drop one maraschino cherry into the drink.
