You know what they say: An apple (juice cocktail) a day…
Apple Juice is a classic drink ingredient. It may not be an obvious thought but when you realise the sweet yet tart flavour they add to any drink, it should be an ingredient to turn to more often.
No matter what the spirit, Apple Juice adds an elegant element that will always go down a treat. Yet there is als0o a nostalgic element to this juice as well. Reminding us of childhood, apple juice no matter whether it’s from a Red Delicious, Granny Smith, McIntosh and any other apple variety, adds a certain flavour of home.
Now while your thoughts may immediately turn to an Appletini, there are far more balanced and layered drinks that you can create with these orchard jewels.
So next time you’re at the farmers market, ass a few more apples than you think you’d normally need into your basket. And remember each varietal will add a different element to your drinks, so it’s work trying every type you can.
Some try to claim that summer fruit makes the best cocktails, but after a peek at these seven apple-based drinks, you’ll understand why apple juice should be the core of all your drinks.
Especially if you have kids, you probably have apple juice around the house and never really thought about using it in your more adult drinks but take it from us you’d be a fool not to try it with your favourite spirits. After that, you’ll never look at a juice box the same way again.
