Apple Blossom #1 & #2

 

This is a double post featuring both Apple Blossom recipes. These drinks are similar but use different spirits. The Apple Blossom #1 (pictured right) is an apple juice and brandy cocktail, but the inventor of the Apple Blossom #2 went one step further and made the cocktail with apple brandy. The second is a major improvement, one because there is even more apple flavor, but also because it is better balanced with maple syrup.

Here they are in order:

Apple Blossom #1

  • 1 1/2 oz. brandy (Korbel used)
  • 1 oz. apple juice
  • 1 tsp. lemon juice
  • lemon slice

 Combine all liquid ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon slice.

 Apple Blossom #2

  • 1 1/2 oz. applejack (Laird's used)
  • 1 oz. apple juice
  • 1/2 oz. lemon juice
  • 1 tsp. maple syrup
  • lemon slice
 Combine all liquid ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon slice.
