This vintage cocktail dates from the turn of the 20th century...one of my favorites as it always tastes like fall to me: Stone Fence
2 oz. of Apple Jack
2 shakes Agnostura Bitters
Fresh Apple Cider
Put a few cubes of ice in an old fashioned glass, add Apple Jack and bitters. Fill rest of glass with apple cider; stir and serve.
I often use Captain Apple Jack, widely available, but there are others on the market; it won't make too much difference.
There are modern variations on this drink and if you order it in bars today, many will come to you as scotch & soda with a dash of bitters...or as brandy/rum/scotch and hard cider. This. Is. Not. Ok. Try it fresh first and see how it compares with the more prevalent versions. Guarantee you like this one better.
