Ingredients for Big Apple
- 1 large apple (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended)
- Brandy
- Orange Juice
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
How to Make Big Apple
- 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.
- Place the hollowed-out apple shell in the freezer for 15 minutes to chill.
- 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.
- Blend until smooth.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any chunky bits.
- Pour the blended mixture into the chilled apple shell.
- Garnish with a sprig of mint or a cinnamon stick (optional).
- Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your edible cocktail glass!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
