The Apple Whisky Smash – Fruity Freshness

The Apple Whisky Smash is a fruity twist on the classic Whisky Smash, where the green apple brings a crisp and tangy touch. Mixed with bourbon whisky, lemon, and a few mint leaves, this refreshing cocktail is just as delightful in the summer as in the fall. Easy to prepare and enjoy, it will appeal to all palates.

• 5 cl of bourbon whisky
• 1/2 green apple, diced
• 2 cl of fresh lemon juice
• 1.5 cl of cane sugar syrup
• 6 to 8 fresh mint leaves
• Ice cubes or crushed ice
• Garnish: apple slice and mint sprig

1. In a shaker, muddle the diced green apple with the cane sugar syrup and lemon juice.
2. Add the mint leaves and whisky.
3. Add ice cubes or crushed ice, then shake vigorously.
4. Strain (optional double strain) and serve in an old fashioned glass filled with crushed ice.
5. Garnish with a thin slice of green apple and a mint sprig.

- Use a Granny Smith apple for a more tangy effect.
- Replace the mint with basil for a more herbal version.
- You can add a touch of dry cider for extra lightness.
