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.

Perfect on a nice sunny and warm Spring afternoon. The apple and citrus works perfectly together. Plus we loved the name; very clever.

Quite nice, I think that the apple schnapps comes through very nice in this drink. Will definitely be making this one again.

Very pleasant apple-y alternative to the traditional Sidecar!
