Quince Pickle Brandy Sour Cocktail

"Quince pickle brandy sour cocktail is a seasonal pickle twist on Jerry Thomas’ Brandy Sour recipe appearing in the 1887 edition of his Bar-tender’s Guide (Thomas 1887: 890), using quince pickle brine as the souring agent instead of lemon juice, which imparts a sour-sweet note from the apple cider vinegar based brine, as well as a punch of quince and spice flavour. In this quince pickle brandy sour cocktail, I have used a star anise demerara sugar rich simple syrup for an added note of spice and garnished with a star anise pod and twist of orange."
