Ol' Fashion Apple Jack
Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.83 / 5
The Ol' Fashion Apple Jack is a twist on the classic Old Fashioned cocktail, incorporating the warming notes of whiskey with the crisp and sweet flavors of apple. This concoction melds the robust character of whiskey with the tartness of apple cider and the fruity sweetness of apple schnapps, creating a harmonious blend that's reminiscent of autumn orchards. Served in a highball glass, the Ol’ Fashion Apple Jack offers a balance of depth from the whiskey against the lighter, refreshing apple notes, making it a delightful choice for those who enjoy a fruit-infused spirit-forward drink. An apple slice garnish completes the presentation, adding a touch of elegance and a hint of fresh apple aroma.
