When I told Ant I was going to make a cocktail with bourbon and Appletiser he wasn’t that keen …. “does Appletiser go with bourbon?” he asked sort of sceptically. I said, oh come on, you know you’re going to drink it (he loves my new cocktail Fridays thing because I experiment with the actual cocktails on Saturdays! Win).
Anyway, hard-core bourbon drinkers might not think this is a legit combo but it is! Bourbon being rich and dark with a dash of maple syrup works well with the fizzy, fresh apple flavour and a thin, crispy slice of apple.
Recipe:
120mls Bourbon
Appletiser
2 tspns maple syrup (optional)
A few thin apple slices
Ice cubes (optional)
Add first 3 ingredients to a jug; stir well, pour into glasses then add ice and apple slices if you like.
Makes: 4 standard drinks
Inspired by: Martha Stewart and Frites & Fries
Emma, I’m so thrilled that you are doing the Friday cocktails, really is exciting to see the different creative ones you come up with, and this terrific apple-bourbon cocktail looks and sounds sooo inviting…especially the moving photos…genius! Have a lovely weekend! xo
Sounds delicious! Although I should shamefully admit I’m not a big snob when it comes to cocktails… Great gifs too 🙂
Looks great! I’ve actually never had Appletiser (it keeps getting auto-corrected to appetizer!) so I’ll have to try it if I can find it here.
Hi Annie 🙂
I hope you can find it, it’s a lovely addition to cocktails.
