Inspired by the classic Middle Eastern hookah tobacco flavor of the same name, this cocktail from Washington, D.C. bartender and 2021 Imbibe 75 Person to Watch Chris Hassaan Francke uses Calvados, reduced cider, and Palestinian arak to capture the sweet, tart flavor of apples, accented by aniseed. “The end result tastes just like the Middle East’s favorite smoke,” says Francke.
