How to Make Big Apple

  1. Carefully cut a hole in the top of a large apple (about 2-3 inches in diameter) and use a melon baller or small spoon to remove the core and create more space inside.
  2. Place the hollowed-out apple shell in the freezer for 15 minutes to chill.
  3. Combine the removed apple pulp (about 1/2 cup), 1/2 cup of your favorite liquor (vodka, rum, or tequila recommended), 1/4 cup apple juice, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and a tablespoon of honey (or simple syrup to taste) in a blender.
  4. Blend until smooth.
  5. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any chunky bits.
  6. Pour the blended mixture into the chilled apple shell.
  7. Garnish with a sprig of mint or a cinnamon stick (optional).
  8. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your edible cocktail glass!
