Cocktail

Method

Prep

  1. 1

    Optional rim

    If you want a sugared rim, rub a lime wedge around the glass rim and dip into coarse sugar or cinnamon-sugar. Set glass aside to dry while you mix.

  2. 2

    Thinly slice an apple and cut a lime wheel for garnish. Chill the serving glass if desired.

Mixing & Shake

  1. 3

    Fill a cocktail shaker with ice to chill.

  2. 4

    Add 2 oz Grey Whale Gin, 2 oz apple cider, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz triple sec, and 0.25 oz simple syrup (only if your cider is very tart) to the shaker.

  3. 5

    Add 1 dash Angostura bitters to round the flavors.

  4. 6

    Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is very cold and well diluted.

Serve

  1. 7

    Fill a rocks glass (or coupe if preferred) with fresh ice (if serving on the rocks) or leave neat for a coupe.

  2. 8

    Double-strain the cocktail into the prepared glass to remove ice shards and any pulp for a clean pour.

  3. 9

    Garnish with a thin apple slice slid onto the rim and a lime wheel. Optionally express a lime peel over the drink for aromatic oils.

  4. 10

    Serve immediately. Enjoy your Apple Ginarita.
