Snobby apple

With the sun coming out, I thought it was time for a series of Single Malt Cocktails.
Number four in this series is actually one of my own mixes and therefore kinda named after me: the Snobby Apple

I used a cask strength SMWS bottle that came from the Aultmore distillery. But any ex-bourbon cask whisky will do!

Ingredients:

• 4 cl of a single malt whisky, in this case: SMWS 73.124

• 6 cl Ginger beer (I used Royal Club)

• 10 cl cloudy Apple Juice

• A big block (in my case ball) of ice (and some extra to shake with)

• An apple for garnish

Tools:

• Cocktail shaker

• Cocktail glass

Instructions:

• Fill your cocktail shaker with a some ice

• Add the whisky

• Add the ginger beer

• Add the apple juice

• Shake cold over the ice. Watch out, the ginger beer is carbonated so it will fizz!

• Place the block of ice in the glass

• Pour the mix in the glass, over the ice

• Add garnish

Enjoy!

My result

I'm not a big fan of ginger. Not at all even. But when building up this cocktail, the apple juice alone was not enough and bitters did not do the trick.

So I used ginger beer, which worked! the result is a very nice, not to sweet drink. To enjoy on a sunny afternoon of even at night in a dusty cocktailbar.

If you try it, let me know what you think!
