This crisp apple cocktail is sure to warm you up on a cool night.
Apples are everywhere this time of year and what a better way to cozy up in a warm flannel by the fire other than with a signature apple cocktail. One of my favorites is made up of most things found in the pantry during the fall season which makes this a super simple drink to whip up. I like to serve this with savory appetizers since it is on the sweeter side. It’s kid friendly if the vodka is omitted so that’s always a plus in my household. This cocktail is also delicious blended.
