An Apple-Tini walks into a bar…
Or (even better) appears on your kitchen counter!
(Nowhere to drive. No tips needed!)
So, here we are in the depths of apple cider, fry cake (it’s a DOUGHNUT) foliage season, and our margaritas aren’t “speaking” to us.
Cuz those girls are so last season.
Let’s look at some Autumn-worthy opponents…
Worried about missing those margaritas? Stop worrying!
Here’s an October-Cozy-Worthy apple margarita
that’ll have your head in Caracaos but your feet on the couch, snuggled under a fuzzy blanket!
Gather:
Some cinnamon and sugar (to rim the glass)
1 ounce tequila (Olé!)
1 ounce apple schnapps or liqueur
1 ounce apple juice
A cup of ice
A slice of green apple and anise star (for pretty garnish)
Making it:
Wet the rim of a margarita glass (chilled if possible) with a piece of apple or apple liqueur
Toss apple tequila, juice, sour mix and ice into your blender
Pour into glass, and garnish (if you’re a garnisher) with apple wedge.
Enjoy!
But apples are good all the way ‘round. How about an Apple-Gin cocktail?
This one is oh… so… good.
You’ll need:
4 ounces gin
4 ounces apple cider
1 ounce lime juice
2 ounces honey or simple syrup
A dash of cinnamon
(If you’re going cray-cray, a sprig of thyme, some thin wedges of apple..?)
Making it:
Combine gin, cider, lime, simple syrup and cinnamon.
Shake well.
Fill two glasses with ice, pour, add matchstick apples or thyme, and gulp away!
Apple-icious!!
But if Fall and Winter had a boozy baby, it would be the
Apple Cider Bourbon Cocktail.
Here you go:
Grab some
Apple cider (duh)
Bourbon (double-duh)
Sweet vermouth
Lemon juice
and Orange bitters
Directions:
Just stir (don’t shake!) all ingredients together.
Strain into a stemmed glass. Or coffee cup. This is your life.
And sip in that October buzz!
