This cocktail oozes autumn. And if you ever find yourself with apples that have gotten too soft? Toss them on a grill, they’re perfect for this simple recipe.
Makes
1 drinkIngredients
- 4 apple slices
- Ice
- 2 ounces bourbon
- ½ ounce ginger liqueur
- 1 ounce of the juice from the grilled apples
- ¾ ounce fresh lemon juice
- 2 dashes Peychaud bitters
- 1 cinnamon stick for garnish
- 1 grilled apple wedge for garnish
Instructions
- Start by grilling apple slices over a hot flame until they get soft and have nice char marks. Set in a container to cool and capture the juices.
- In a cocktail shaker, muddle grilled apple slices. Add ice, bourbon, ginger liqueur, the grilled-apple juice, lemon juice, and bitters. Shake vigorously until cold. Pour through a fine-mesh strainer and into a rocks glass with ice. Garnish with a cinnamon stick and a grilled apple wedge. The strainer helps keep the cocktail as clear as possible since there’s a lot of pulp in the apples and in the cocktail shaker.
