The Apple Splash has an alcohol content of 16.57%, which is higher than a standard glass of wine, typically around 12% alcohol by volume. This makes the cocktail stronger, so it should be consumed in moderation.

Food pairings icon

What food pairs well with the Apple Splash cocktail?

The Apple Splash, with its blend of apple juice, champagne/prosecco, and Calvados, pairs well with light appetizers, cheese platters, and fruit dishes. Its sweetness and acidity can complement soft cheeses, like brie or camembert, as well as crackers and nuts.
