That cold bite of the wind on my cheek and the crackle of leaves under my feet are a little reminder that it is time to fill the kitchen with all things spiced, baked, and flavored with apple. This cocktail is my own creation. As the granddaughter a pie legend, I believe pie to be nearly a religion and that perfect balance of sweet and rich filling with the salty crisp crust my center. So when I decided to make a cocktail that would have pie in the name, no ordinary apple and cinnamon combo would do. The sweet and salty rim on the glass makes this cocktail as satisfying as a great slice of pie. It may sound strange, but I urge you to try using Cinnamon "Salger" and experience the my apple pie cocktail
Ingredients
3 oz apple cider
1 oz cranberry juice
1 1/2 oz brandy
1/2 oz caramel or butterscotch liqueur
1/4 oz fresh orange juice
2 dashes of bitters
Procedure:
Using and orange to moisten the outer edge of the glass, garnish glass with the cinnamon mixture below making sure to have an even coating on the outside of the glass edge and nothing on the inside. This is important. you can achieve this by tipping the glass and rolling the moistened outer edge through the Cinnamon "Salgar." Then, shake all ingredients together and strain into a cocktail class
Cinnamon “Salgar”
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp kosher salt
