Cocktail of the Week: Apple 75

SWS Apple 75

Ingredients

1 ½ oz. Crown Royal Regal Apple

¾ oz. Fruitations cherry syrup

1 oz. fresh lemon juice

1 oz. Owl’s Brew Pink & Black (Darjeeling tea and hibiscus mix)

Top up (3 oz.) with Mionetto Prosecco DOC

Sliced green apple for garnish

Fresh rosemary sprig for garnish

Method

Shake first four ingredients with ice, then strain into a 14-oz. stemmed glass. Top with prosecco (about 3 oz.) and garnish with apple slices and rosemary.

°°°

Like a crisp green apple, this cocktail is sweet but with just enough sour to satisfy. The unexpected blend of flavors (whiskey, apple, cherry, lemon, tea — oh my!) may seem mismatched on paper, but they unite to create a perfectly harmonized and truly delectable drink.

Cocktail created by Francesco Lafranconi, Executive Director of Mixology and Spirits Education at Southern Wine and Spirits.
