’Tis the season for Apple™ picking. Sigh, if only the iPhone 5 grew on trees. In honor of this fall’s hottest gadget, enjoy these drinks inspired by the company that monopolizes your technological needs.
Apple Pie Shooters
Knock back a few of these sweet shots, but don’t forget to make one for Siri.
- 1 oz. vanilla vodka
- 1 oz. apple cider
- Whipped cream
- Cinnamon
Pour apple juice and vodka into shot glass, top with whipped cream, sprinkle cinnamon onto tongue, and consume.
Cran-Apple Fizz
Because you’ll need something to spill on that clunky iPhone 4S to justify buying the new one.
- 2 oz. apple brandy
- 2 oz. apple juice
- 2 oz. cranberry juice
- ½ tsp. lime juice
- Sparkling water
Pour over ice, garnish with slice of lime.
Caramel Appletini
While enjoying this twist on the classic Martini, don’t forget to toast to the ingenuity of the late, great Steve Jobs (read: platform for Fruti Ninja, Angry Birds), without which you would not have been able to ignore—and therefore disassociate yourself from—awkward social situations since 2007.
- 1 oz. apple schnapps
- ½ oz. butterscotch schnapps
- 2 oz. vodka
- 1 oz. apple juice
Mix well in cocktail shaker full of ice, garnish with apple slice.
