Apple A Day Cocktail

This autumn-inspired apple cocktail is delicious! A perfect mix of sweet and savoury, featuring honey-distilled gin. 

Apple a Day Cocktail

This cocktail is basically Autumn in a glass! It’s perfect for getting cozy in your favourite cardigan, sitting on your porch, and having a sip, surrounded by the beautiful colours of the season. This recipe calls for two ounces of gin (more on that below), but feel free to back it off to 1.5 ounces if you prefer more cider punch. For me, the ingredients that make this drink so good are the frozen matchstick apple slices, the Himalayan sea salt rim, and a special, locally-distilled gin!

Special Gin

Roundabout Gin is produced at Greenwood Distillers out of Sundre, Alberta. The gin is honey-distilled, and is made with Juniper, Coriander, Angelica, Red Peppercorn, Aji Amarillo Chili, Lemongrass, Liquorice Root, Sea Buckthorn. Read all about it here.

You’ll Need:

• 2 ounces of Roundabout Gin
• 3 ounces of apple cider
• Juice of one lime
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 of a Pink Lady apple sliced into matchsticks
• small piece of dried apple
• a sprig of rosemary or thyme

Directions:

• Rim a short cocktail glass with Himalayan sea salt for a nice mix of sweet and savoury.
• Pour gin, apple cider, lime, and cinnamon into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
• Shake for 20-30 seconds and pour.
• Add in matchstick apples (pop these in the freezer about one hour before you mix the cocktail).
• Garnish with a piece of dried apple and sprig of your favourite herb (I recommend rosemary or thyme).
