They make great digestifs, aperitifs, and low-ABV shots, and they can take cocktails from so-so to phenomenal. Liqueurs are some of the most versatile and valuable players in the drinks game. That said, there are many liqueurs on the market that are cloying, unbalanced, or just plain odd.

At the same time, it is fair to wonder if the increased presence of Malört has robbed the digestif some of its hyper-regional charm. As a result, more people than ever are engaging in the misfortune of knocking back shots of Malört and getting in on the joke. This growth is fun to see — after all, misery loves company.

So, one night, I poured one into a small digestif glass. On my own journey with temperance, I’ve found most full-size cocktails are too much for me, so I usually opt for wine, beer, or a low-ABV drink. But I very much missed the finesse of a Martini, especially living in a home with vast gin and vermouth collections.

The apple brandy cask rounds out the edges of the bourbon, transforming it in a lovely dessert-like spirit akin to an after dinner digestif. The flavor is where the apple kicks in, adding an almost juicy sweetness and baked pie character to the bourbon. The finish is long and oaky driven with the apple adding a light fruity closing.

I also decided to include one of my favorite digestifs — Amaro Averna. While most espresso martinis are made with vodka, I decided to swap it out with whiskey as it pairs better with the coffee notes. Full of brown sugar and caramel notes, it also pairs perfectly with both the whiskey and the coffee.

It’s ready to be enjoyed whenever and wherever you damn well please. The word “crushable” may show up as an adjective somewhere.
