The apple brandy, Cynar, honey and lemon juice cocktail was created by So-Cal bartender Jason Schiffer to remind him of fall in the Midwest.
I have a theory: I think that when someone is talking about living somewhere warm— Phoenix or Los Angeles or something—and says “but I would miss the seasons,” what they’re actually saying is that they would miss the fall.
Winter, depending on where you’re from, can range from invigorating to pitiless, but there’s something enchanting about fall. The crispness in the air. Leaves turning colors. Warmer clothes still have a novel thrill. It’s what you would yearn for if you—or in the case of this particular cocktail, a bartender named Jason Schiffer—relocated to Southern California.
For his drink, Schiffer wanted to name it something that underscored the inspiration and rooted it in a sense of place and time, so he chose the name “Michigander,” which is the ridiculous word people from Michigan use to describe themselves.
This drink presents a touch on the sweet side, then dries out with bitterness on the finish. If you find yourself allergic to sweetness, you can reduce the honey to 0.5 oz., if you prefer. Personally though, I’d keep it where it is. Pretty much every fall treat worth enjoying has a touch of sweetness to it.The garnish is unusually important here.
