Fizzy Apple Cocktail Recipe
The Fizzy Apple Cocktail is a fun twist on an Appletini, more sippable and considerably less strong, making it perfect for casual hang-outs where you want just a pleasant buzz. It originated in Australia as the classic Appletini was found too be too strong for the average Australian palate.
My friend – also named Jennifer – is a huge Appletini fan, so I thought I’d try out this recipe for her.
It’s a layered drink, but I did not make enough ice for these pictures so the effect disappeared quite quickly, before I could get some awesome pictures of it. It’s more ombre in these pictures! When you do fill your glass with ice before layering in the drinks, it has a pretty green-dark yellow-light yellow layering. (The ombre looks pretty good, too, though.) However, the drink should be stirred with a straw or iced tea spoon before drinking so that alcohol gets mixed into the rest of the drink and you don’t end up having a harsh shot right at the end.
Traditionally, it’s garnished with a lemon twist or lemon slice, but a slice of apple would also look cute. (Be sure to soak the apple slices in a bit of lemonade to prevent them from browning if preparing your garnishes in advance.)
You can add the fizziness by using a carbonated lemonade (like a San Pellegrino) like I did, though the traditional Fizzy Apple Cocktail uses plain lemonade.
Personally, I’m a fan of big flavors, so I’d prefer an Appletini if you were looking for an apple-flavored cocktail, but this is a fun twist on a lemonade cocktail. The apple really plays well with the lemonade as they are both tart with an edge of sweetness. (The apple vodka also helps drive home that apple flavor.)
I often order my liquor from Drizly because they have a quick delivery time (sometimes within 40 minutes) and no expensive mark-ups. Purchasing from them supports local retailers, too. They have a great variety of Apple Vodkas which you can check out here. (Amazon does not have Apple Vodka so this is your best bet for getting some – and quickly!)
