Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 4 ounces apple vodka (I recommend Wild Roots)
  • 1/2 large honeycrisp apple (about 1/2 cup, cubed, skin on)
  • orange peel (just the orange outer peel, not the white pith)
  • 1 ounce simple syrup
  • 1 ounce lemon juice
  • 4 ounces apple cider (honeycrisp recommended, chilled)
  • 12 ounces hard apple cider (I recommend Reverend Nat's)

Instruction

  • In a small bowl or glass, combine vodka and cut apples with orange peel. Let steep for a minimum of 15 minutes or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator (longer is better).
  • When ready to serve, add simple syrup, lemon juice, and apple cider. Stir well to combine.
  • Spoon steeped fruit into two glasses and divide remaining liquid evenly between the two glasses as well. Discard the orange peel.
  • Top each glass with hard cider.
  • Garnish with fresh orange peel or a cinnamon stick. Enjoy!
