Apple cider is too diluted to work in a drink shaken with ice, so we’re making this recipe as a bottled cocktail instead, which means you can actually make it ahead of time! You can make more than one serving in a big bottle, or individual servings in small bottles or jam jars, which you can then let each guest pour herself.
INGREDIENTS
-
2 oz vodka
-
2 oz Champlain Orchards apple cider
-
¾ oz water
-
¼ oz Cointreau
-
1 tsp real maple syrup
-
Hearty squeeze of lemon
-
Pinch of salt
-
Apple slice fan, for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
-
Add everything to a bottle or jam jar. Seal and shake.
-
Freeze completely. Add your coupes to the freezer as well so they’re chilled when you’re ready to serve.
-
Remove the bottled cocktail from the freezer 10 minutes before serving. When ready to serve, shake until just thawed (this will happen quickly) and remove coupes from freezer.
-
Pour into chilled coupes and garnish with an edible apple fan.
