Very nice. But, I didn’t hear “Auntie cocktail.” I heard “the Anti-cocktail.” You know… what to drink when all of your friends are having cocktails and you want to make a statement.
I think it’s Ante like the bet you place at the start of around of poker. As in you can’t even start a night of drinking until you’ve put in your ante. Calvados and Cointreau, it’s like comparing apples and oranges.
