Apple Coffee Cider

Day 279

Apple Coffee Cider

4 shots out of 5

Two more days until Thanksgiving (still in denial).  

The kids get out early tomorrow and my oldest is having a friend over to hang out.  

Tomorrow marks my last photo shoot of the year (I think hope).  

Photo editing, proof passing out (a total Jen term) and I'm done until the orders come back for me to place them.  

All in all, it's been a good year and I'm getting excited for the holidays.  

I gave tonight's cocktail 4 shots out of 5.  

I found a recipe online for a cocktail and amended it just a little bit, which I think technically makes it mine, therefore I renamed it.  

The apple vodka and cider definitely give this cocktail an appley taste for sure.  

The coffee liqueur flavor is a surprisingly nice mix with the apple flavors.  

Before making my Spiked Apple Cider, Thanksgiving Cider and tonight's cocktail I honestly did not think that apple cider would be good in a cocktail.  

I'll admit it, I was wrong.........WAY wrong!

Here is a photo of the end result:

Here is a photo of the ingredients:

Here is my recipe for an Apple Coffee Cider:

• 1 1/2 oz apple vodka
• 3/4 oz coffee liqueur
• 1 1/2 oz apple cider
• 1/2 oz cream

In a shaker, add ice and all of the ingredients above.  Shake and strain your cocktail into a short cocktail glass.

Here's to being wrong and enjoying it!

Cheers!!

Caramel Appletini

Day 99

Caramel Appletini

4 shots out of 5

I'm not sure if I should be excited that today marks day 99.......or kind of sad for my liver, haha.  Anyways, I've decided that I'm excited about it!  I can not believe that I've made and tried 99 cocktails so far and there is still soooo many more out there that need to be tried!

I gave tonight's cocktail 4 shots out of 5.  A way to fancy up the cocktail would be to swirl caramel inside the cocktail glass before you pour your cocktail in, but I didn't have any.  Would have been a yummy, nice touch though.  I received this recipe from one of my readers, Marie.  Thank You Marie!  This is a yummy cocktail indeed.  It's kind of funny because every other sip I can taste either the apple or the butterscotch more then the other, then vise versa.  Either way this is a pretty darn good cocktail.  If you liked my Appletini I had made back in March, I think you may like this one too (as long as you like butterscotch that is).

Here is the recipe for a Caramel Appletini:

• 1 shot vodka (Marie's recipe calls for Apple Vodka, but I don't have any)
• 1 shot apple pucker
• 1 shot butterscotch schnapps

In a shaker add ice, vodka, apple pucker and butterscotch schnapps.  Shake everything up real well.  Strain into a martini glass.

Here is a photo of the end result:

Cheers to you Marie and your Caramel Appletini!  Just wish I had the caramel to drizzle in the glass ahead of time.
