scotch & apple cocktail
Seasonal as f***.
I remember having a version of this cocktail in New Orleans for the Tales of the Cocktail last year during a Monkey Shoulder party. With apple season in full swing here in the US, I figured it would be a cocktail worth researching.
My memory served me that it was just two ingredients: blended scotch and fresh apple juice. However, the results online provided the addition of lime juice (I assume for a boost of acid) and some Drambuie (a honey + scotch liqueur).
I don’t regularly have Drambuie, so I opted for honey syrup to achieve the sweetness it provided.
Honestly, this version is still a BANGER.
Ingredients
0.5oz | 15ml lime juice
0.5oz | 15ml honey syrup
1.5oz | 45ml blended scotch (something malt driven)
Topped with freshly pressed apple juice
Cocktail Directions
Combine lime, syrup and scotch into a highball glass with ice, stir to incorporate. Top with freshly pressed apple juice (fluffy if possible for incredible texture).
Garnish with an apple slice.
