Learn everything on which Gin to choose

Gin (2oz): The base spirit providing botanical flavors that enhance the complexity of the drink. Opt for a less juniper-heavy gin to not overpower the apple and cinnamon notes.

Mary Mitkina

Apple Juice (1oz): The sweet and familiar flavor of apple anchors the cocktail's theme. A cloudy, unfiltered juice adds more body, whereas clear juice keeps it crisp.

Mary Mitkina

Lemon Juice (0.5oz): Adds a zesty tartness to balance out the sweetness, keeping the drink refreshing. Adjusting the lemon can steer the drink toward sweet or sour.

Alex Green

Cinnamon Syrup (0.5oz): This brings a sweet, spicy touch, reinforcing the apple pie vibe. Making it too strong could overshadow the other flavors.

Mary Mitkina

Egg White (1): Provides a silky texture and a foamy top when shaken hard. Omitting it results in a less smooth drink, but could be avoided if allergies or dietary preferences are a concern.

Mary Mitkina

Soda Water (2oz): Introduces fizz, lightness, and helps to integrate all the flavors. Adjust the amount to play with effervescence without diluting the drink's core tastes.

Alex Green

Apple Slice (1): A garnish that immediately tells you 'this is an apple drink!' while offering a crunchy snack.

Mary Mitkina

Cinnamon Stick (1): More than a stirrer, this garnish slowly infuses a bit more spice as you enjoy the drink, while providing a heady aroma with each sip.

  4. Strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with ice.

  • Shake well: Make sure to shake the cocktail shaker vigorously to properly emulsify the egg white and create a frothy texture.

Perfect Pairings

Appetizers:

  • A plate of assorted cheeses, especially those that complement apple flavors, such as Gouda or Cheddar.
  • Charcuterie boards with prosciutto and salami can balance the sweetness of the cocktail.

In case you forgot basics how to make Apple Blow Fizz

Add your ingredients to the shaker first, then ice. Fill it up to ¾ of its capacity to ensure enough space for shaking. Hold the shaker with both hands (one on the top and one on the bottom) and shake vigorously. The shake should come from your shoulders, not your wrists.

Learn everything on how to shake

Place your chosen strainer on top of the shaker or mixing glass, ensuring a secure fit. Pour the cocktail into a glass through the strainer, which will catch solid ingredients and ice. If double straining, hold the fine mesh strainer between the shaker and the glass.

Insert the spoon into the glass until it touches the bottom. Keep the back of the spoon against the inside wall of the glass, and stir in a smooth, circular motion. The goal is to swirl the ice and ingredients together without churning or splashing.

Garnishing a bar drink depends on the type of garnish and the cocktail. Generally, it involves preparing the garnish (like cutting a citrus wheel or picking a sprig of mint), and then adding it to the drink in a visually appealing way (like perching it on the rim or floating it on top).
