The Diki-Diki cocktail was first published in the famous Savoy Cocktail Book. It blends 1½ ounces Calvados apple brandy, ¾ ounce Kronan Swedish Punsch liqueur, ½ ounce grapefruit juice and ¼ ounce simple syrup. Shake, then strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with an orange twist.
Sip by a fire while enjoying notes of caramel apple, clove-spiced orange marmalade, dark molasses and cinnamon brown butter with a hint of bitter grapefruit.
