For most drinkers of a certain age, Jägermeister is the unofficial source of many bad decisions. But in this cocktail from Sother Teague of Amor y Amargo in New York, it acts as the base of a bone-warming drink that combines the herbal notes of the liqueur with apple brandy for a decidedly adult way to fortify oneself after a day out in the cold. 

Ingredients

　　1 ounce apple brandy

　　2 dashes apple bitters

　　Garnish orange twist

　　Combine the Jägermeister, brandy, and bitters in an ice-filled rocks glass and stir gently. Garnish with an orange twist.

　　Epi's Note:

　　If you don't have apple bitters, orange bitters can be substituted. Be sure to use high-proof apple brandy here, not applejack.
