Get toasty with our new JUICI™ Apple Old Fashioned Cocktail! It's the perfect drink to help you embrace the cold winter months. Typically, Old Fashioned cocktails are made with cherries and orange, but we've updated this classic cocktail recipe with a fresh spin using JUICI™ apples from Starr Ranch® Growers.

Apple Old Fashioned Cocktail

JUICI™ apples are the perfect balance of sweet and tart, which means it's flavor is unmatched! This apple has thin skin so there's no need to peel this sweet fruit when you're ready for a snack – or a drink! For this recipe we cooked diced JUICI's with warming cinnamon, nutmeg, and a little brown sugar to sweeten this boozy libation.

TIP: if you like your Old Fashioned's on the sweeter side, add a drizzle of maple syrup or simple syrup to the glass.

Here's how to layer this cocktail –

Add 2-3 tbsp of cooked JUICIâ„¢ apples. If adding maple syrup or simple syrup, add this now.

Top with crushed ice.

Add 1-2 shots of good bourbon. Option to top with ginger beer, strong ginger ale, or just a little seltzer water for bubbles.

Garnish with JUICIâ„¢ Apple and a cinnamon stick. Stir and enjoy!

As you need a 'top-off' just add more ice and bourbon. As the ice melts, the diced apple will slip through as you sip – YUM!

  25. I don’t use alcohol, seems white grape juice might make it too sweet..does it really need anything else ?

    • Hi, Melinda! You can totally omit the bourbon in this recipe if you want to! Use ginger ale or a good spicy ginger beer instead. Hope you enjoy! 🙂
