Apple PieCocktail recipe
Rating
The Apple Pie cocktail, served in a lowball glass, captures the quintessential flavors of its namesake dessert through the use of apple schnapps as its core ingredient. This sweet and fruity cocktail evokes the classic taste of an apple pie by integrating the crisp and refreshing essence of apples along with a hint of spice, typically reminiscent of cinnamon, although it's noted that cinnamon schnapps is not included in the recipe.
Garnished with a fresh slice of apple and a sprinkle of cinnamon, it offers a simple yet delightful combination that can be enjoyed in any season but may be particularly cozy during autumn or winter months.

The Apple Pie cocktail is a sweet nod to its dessert namesake with its use of apple schnapps and just a dash of cinnamon schnapps. While simplicity is its strength, it might leave those expecting bolder flavors wanting a bit more spice.

FAQ's
What is the best way to serve an Apple Pie cocktail?
The Apple Pie cocktail is best served in a lowball glass, chilled. You can enhance the experience by chilling the glass beforehand to keep the cocktail cold without needing to add ice, preserving the strong flavors of apple and cinnamon.
Can I substitute apple schnapps with something else in an Apple Pie cocktail?
If you don't have apple schnapps, you can substitute it with apple cider or apple juice for a non-alcoholic version but note that this will significantly alter the flavor and alcohol content. For an alcoholic version, apple-flavored vodka can be a closer substitute, though it may alter the taste slightly.
What garnishes work well with the Apple Pie cocktail?
For garnishing an Apple Pie cocktail, a slice of fresh apple or a cinnamon stick makes a perfect addition. These garnishes complement the drink's flavors and enhance its visual appeal, embodying the essence of apple pie.
How does the alcohol content of the Apple Pie cocktail compare to a standard drink?
The Apple Pie cocktail has an alcohol content of 15%, which is relatively high for a cocktail. A standard drink, in many countries, is considered to have about 10-12% alcohol content for a cocktail. Therefore, the Apple Pie cocktail is stronger than many other cocktails and should be enjoyed responsibly.
Is there a particular season that the Apple Pie cocktail is best enjoyed?
The Apple Pie cocktail, with its warm cinnamon and apple flavors, is perfect for autumn and winter. Its cozy and comforting taste profiles match well with the cooler weather and can also be a delightful treat during the holiday season.
