Notes
For best results, use fresh apple cider rather than apple juice for more complex flavors.
Honey syrup can be made by mixing equal parts honey and warm water.
This cocktail tastes best when served immediately over fresh ice.
For a stronger apple flavor, muddle a few apple slices before adding other ingredients.
Can be made as a batch cocktail for parties by multiplying ingredients.
