Instructions

A variant of the classic John Collins. It was created because one day I was at home. After I shaken the first ingredients I notice that in my fridge there wasn't any club Soda. So I found a little of delicious Juice (Apple) and well...there you are!In a shaker half-filled with ice cubes, combine the Whisky, Lemon Juice, and Sugar. Shake well. Strain into a collins glass almost filled with ice cubes. Add the Juice (Apple). Stir well, then put the Punch of marraschino Syrup and finally garnish with the slice Apple. Enjoy it!, a bartender, Julian Ferreyra, from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Apple Scotch - Summary

The Apple Scotch cocktail is a delightful blend that marries the robust flavors of whisky with the crisp sweetness of apple juice. The drink is balanced with a touch of lemon juice, which adds a refreshing citrusy zing, and superfine sugar that rounds out the flavors with a hint of sweetness. A dash of maraschino syrup introduces a subtle cherry note, enhancing the overall complexity of the cocktail. The drink is typically garnished with a slice of apple, adding a visually appealing touch and an extra hint of fruity aroma.

The origins of the Apple Scotch are not extensively documented, but it likely emerged as a creative twist on classic whisky cocktails, influenced by the growing popularity of apple-infused drinks. This cocktail appeals to those who enjoy the traditional strength of whisky but with a sweeter, fruitier edge. Its combination of ingredients makes it an ideal choice for autumn gatherings or as a refreshing option at any social occasion, offering a unique taste experience that stands out among whisky-based cocktails.

This drink style is classified as a Cocktail and is Alcoholic, so drink responsibly! The recommended glass type for this drink is a Collins Glass. We say, feel free to serve it in whatever you have available; it will still taste the same :)

You may also use different variations of the same ingredient. For example, you could change up fruit types or sugar substitutes. Other substitutions would include different brands of liquor. For example, if your drink calls for a specific type of whiskey, you could try using bourbon instead of Irish.

Crafting cocktails should be fun, so get creative and make it your own. Who knows, you might find your next favorite!
