A rich and flavoursome cocktail recalling a traditional baked apple tart.

It doesn't get much more traditional than a tarte aux pommes — that's an apple tart, by the way — and those are the rich, comforting flavours that the bartenders at Sofitel's Champagne Bar are evoking in this Aberfeldy 12 cocktail.

The drink is rich and layered in flavour, the kind of drink you want to sip whilst looking out the floor to ceiling windows of Champagne Bar at the glittering Sydney skyline.
