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

½ ounces Jägermeister

1

ounce apple brandy

2

dashes apple bitters

Garnish orange twist
