There's a chill in the air here that signals Fall and Winter's encroach, but for now, let's settle into Fall. Cozying up to a smoky wood fire surrounded by the rich jewel tones of the changing scenery, apple orchards, family gatherings, sweater season- could there be a better time of year? Well, Christmas, but that can wait. For now, Fall, you've got the stage.
This cocktail is slightly bitter. So, if you're tired of sicky-sweet cocktails hailing from the heyday of the Appletini, you'll find this drink to be a refreshing change. Campari lends it's herbaceous red tinge to this Apple Cider and vodka cocktail. Lemon, spices, and dash of bitters finishes it off.
takes: five minutes, tops, then sip it slow
YOU WILL NEED:
5 oz. Apple Cider
1 oz. Vodka (pepper vodka is great here if you're feeling adventurous)
1 oz. Campari
dash of lemon juice
dash of aromatic bitters
pinch of cloves
pinch of cinnamon
garnish with an apple or peach slice
In a tall glass or a copper mug (if you have it), place 3-4 ice cubes. Pour in Apple Cider, vodka, and Campari. Top with lemon juice, bitters, and spices. Stir to mix. Garnish with an apple slice if you're feeling fancy.
