A fairly light tasting cocktail. A great combination of flavors (Apples and cranberries just scream Fall season) with the Grand Marnier providing a nice,subtle orange finish. Very nice for a fall afternoon.

Very nice. It is a great softer after dinner drink. You can taste the alcohol, but it is subdued by the cranberry. Very nice for sipping and conversations.
