Apple Swizzle Ingredients


Apple Swizzle Instructions

The Apple Swizzle is a delicious cocktail that combines the crispness of apples with a touch of spice. This refreshing drink is perfect for those hot summer days or cozy winter nights. To make an Apple Swizzle, start by muddling fresh apples in a cocktail shaker. The muddled apples will release their natural juices and flavors, adding a fresh and fruity taste to the drink. Next, add a splash of lemon juice to give the cocktail a tangy kick. To balance out the sweetness of the apples, add a dash of simple syrup. Simple syrup is made by dissolving equal parts sugar and water, creating a sweet liquid that is perfect for cocktails. The simple syrup will enhance the natural sweetness of the apples without overpowering their flavor. Now it's time to add the spice. Sprinkle in some ground cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg. These spices will add warmth and depth to the cocktail, complementing the flavors of the apples beautifully. If you prefer a stronger spice flavor, feel free to adjust the amount of cinnamon and nutmeg to your liking. Add ice to the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. This will ensure that all the ingredients are well mixed and chilled. Strain the mixture into a glass filled with ice. Garnish with a slice of apple or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top for an extra touch of elegance. The Apple Swizzle is a versatile cocktail that can be enjoyed year-round. Its refreshing and fruity flavors make it a perfect choice for summer parties, while the warm spices add a cozy element that makes it equally enjoyable during the colder months. So next time you're in the mood for a cocktail that combines the best of both worlds - fresh apples and warm spices - give the Apple Swizzle a try. You won't be disappointed!


Best served in a Collins Glass.
