Method

How to make Washington Red Apple

Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.

  1. 01

    Pre-chill one clear Collins glass and cut exactly one very thin small red-and-green apple slice for the garnish.

  2. 02

    Measure 60 ml vodka, 15 ml sour apple liqueur, 75 ml cloudy unsweetened apple juice, and 7.5 ml fresh lime juice into a shaker; keep the grenadine separate.

  3. 03

    Fill the shaker with solid cold ice, seal firmly, and shake hard for 10–12 seconds until thoroughly chilled.

  4. 04

    Fill the chilled Collins glass with clean clear cubed ice and fine-strain the shaken mixture over it.

  5. 05

    Slowly drizzle 7.5 ml grenadine down the inside of the glass so it settles into a distinct narrow ruby-red layer at the base.

  6. 06

    Clip the single thin apple slice neatly at the rim and serve without stirring, citrus, straw, or another garnish.
