A Few Notes

Use cloudy apple juice and not clear. It has a fuller, fresher apple taste and softens the artificial edge of the liqueur.

Shake hard with plenty of ice. The dilution is a part of the recipe, and a drink that is not cold enough tastes sugary.

Dip the apple slices in lemon juice and add them at the last minute. Cut apple browns within a few minutes. A Granny Smith gives the brightest green skin and the sharpest taste.

Storing and Reheating

Best made to order. It does not keep once shaken, and the ice in the shaker dilutes it if it stands.
