Apple Schnapps
In the long, dark evenings of winter, what would be more welcome than a fragrant whiff of sunny apple-orchard autumn preserved in schnapps? Tell the lucky recipient to serve this schnapps chilled from the refrigerator in small shot glasses with hors d'oeuvres. Or perhaps guests would enjoy it at room temperature as a digestif with dessert or after dinner.
