Happy NYE! I have the perfect bubbly cocktail to CELEBRATE featuring SnapDragon Apples. Have y’all had these apples before? I am obsessed. The cocktail I created is a twist on the classic French 75 & to amp up the flavor I decided to make a GORGEOUS syrup using these SUPER Juicy & Sweet Apples.
This SnapDragon Apple syrup not only brings flavor but the apple peels create a gorgeous pink color. To make this celebratory cocktail the syrup is mixed with gin & lemon juice in a shaker & strained into a festive glass then topped off with bubbles, which is perfect for ringing in the New Year. I also love having edible garnishes to snack on like this tasty Apple Fan!
