Review:
Apple and lemon juice are renowned for pairing well with Scotch whisky and in the Vanity, this harmonious combination is further enhanced by apple appearing in the deliciously characterful form of Pommeau de Normandie. This cocktail benefits from the sweet and sour fruitiness that fresh cranberries contribute but it's still tasty without them.
