History

Review

Fennel and pastis freshen and delicately flavour Scotch with the merest hint of apple. Best made by infusing the fennel with the scotch whisky for a week or so rather than muddling.

Any thoughts on an appropriate method to keep the balance while using apple juice in place of the apple schnapps liqueur?

I'd abandon! Flavour will be lacking as well as balance.
