Sanford Orchard Devon Mist Recipe

Dry shake (if using egg white)

Add the apple brandy, ginger liqueur (or ginger syrup), lemon juice, cloudy apple juice, simple syrup, egg white (if using), and Angostura bitters to a cocktail shaker without ice. Seal and shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds to emulsify and build a silky foam.

Wet shake

Open the shaker, add the ice (about 1 cup), re-seal and shake very vigorously for 12–15 seconds until well chilled and the outside of the shaker is frosty.

Strain

Double-strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass using a fine mesh strainer to remove ice shards and any coagulated bits.

Finish

If you did not use egg white but prefer a little effervescence, top gently with a splash (about 0.5 oz) of ginger beer instead of the wet shake step. Otherwise, proceed to garnish.

Float the thin apple slice or apple fan on the foam or rim of the glass.

Lightly grate nutmeg or dust a small pinch of ground cinnamon over the foam (or over the top of the drink if no foam). Serve immediately.
