John Gertsen, bar manager of Drink in Boston, gave us the recipe for this vintage cocktail that’s sweet, smoky, and dry all at once.

What to buy: Swedish Punch (a.k.a. Caloric Punch, Caloric Punsch, Arak Punch, Arrack Punch, Arak Punsch, and Arrack Punsch) is a smoky Swedish liqueur with Batavia arrack as its base.

This recipe was featured as part of our New Year’s Eve Speakeasy Party.

INGREDIENTS

2 ounces apple brandy, such as Calvados
1/2 ounce Swedish Punch
1/2 ounce freshly squeezed grapefruit juice

INSTRUCTIONS

Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add all ingredients and shake vigorously until well chilled, about 20 seconds. Strain into a cocktail glass.
