Apple Brandy Cocktail

Pro tips

• Use fresh lemon juice, not bottled, for brighter flavor and better balance with the brandy.
• Chill your glass beforehand to keep the drink cold longer and improve mouthfeel.
• Pour the brandy first, then layer grenadine and lemon juice to observe the drink's visual layers.
• Stir gently before drinking to distribute the grenadine evenly throughout.

Substitutions

• Mr. Boston Apple Brandy → other apple brandy or apple schnapps (adjust to taste)
• Fresh lemon juice → lime juice (changes flavor profile slightly, works well for variation)
• Grenadine → simple syrup or honey syrup (less pomegranate flavor, slightly drier)

Equipment

bar spoon or jigger · chilled glass

Can I substitute the Mr. Boston Apple Brandy?

Yes. Use any apple brandy or apple schnapps; adjust quantity slightly as potency varies by brand.

Should this be served hot or cold?

Serve over ice in a chilled glass unless specified otherwise in your source recipe.

What type of glass works best?

A coupe, martini, or rocks glass works well depending on whether you prefer it up or on the rocks.

How do I measure 1 teaspoon of grenadine and lemon juice accurately?

Use a bar spoon or small measuring spoon for precision; 1 tsp equals approximately 5 ml.
