Ingredients

  • 2 oz whiskey
  • Half an apple chopped
  • Half a lemon cut into wedges
  • 1 tsp sugar or simple syrup
  • A sprig of mint for garnish

Instructions

  • Put the apple pieces, lemon wedges, and sugar into the cocktail shaker.
  • Muddle (smash) them together until the fruit is juiced and mixed with the sugar.
  • Add the whiskey and fill the shaker with ice.
  • Shake well until everything is cold.
  • Strain the mix into your rocks glass filled with fresh ice.
  • Garnish with a mint sprig. Enjoy!

Notes

Pro Tips

  • Use a sweet, crisp apple like Honeycrisp or Fuji for the best flavor.
  • Substitute brown sugar for a deeper, caramel-like sweetness.
  • A bold bourbon works well for warmth, while rye whiskey adds a spicier kick.
