I was trying to figure out which other cocktail this one reminded me of, and it is the apple cart. But, I sincerely like this one better of the two because of the more prevalent apple flavor. The Triple Sec/Cointreau is not fighting for presence like in the apple cart. This will make a fantastic fall cocktail.
