SPARKLING APPLE PIE COCKTAIL

For those who know me well, you know I love my bubbles!

When looking through the cocktails I've shared on The Kitchen is My Playground, I realized I hadn't yet shared a sparkling cocktail for Fall.  Sure, I've shared Champagne Margaritas ... and a perfect-for-summer Sparkling Limoncello Cooler ... and even Sparkling Mint Juleps.  But nothing just perfect for Fall.

Well, that of course, just had to change.  And so I bring you this Sparkling Apple Pie Cocktail.  Loaded with the wonderful flavors of apples, cinnamon, and the sweetness of honey, it's just perfect for Fall sipping.

When working on this Sparkling Apple Pie Cocktail, I did run into one little problem though.

The honey!

But it's actually quite easy to fix this problem.

All you have to do to avoid "honey glop" is make an easy honey simple syrup.  Just combine equal parts honey and hot water {hot from the tap ... it doesn't even have to be boiling} and stir until the honey is dissolved.  Then let the mixture cool before preparing cocktail.

Ingredients

  • For each cocktail:
  • 3 oz. apple juice or apple cider
  • 3/4 oz. cinnamon schnapps
  • 1/2 T. honey
  • 1/2 T. hot water
  • 3 oz. champagne or sparkling wine
  • cinnamon & sugar for rim
  • apple slice for garnish

Directions

  1. Combine honey with hot water; stir until honey is dissolved.  Allow to cool before preparing cocktail.
  2. Combine a bit of cinnamon and granulated sugar in a shallow dish. Wet the rim of each glass, all the way around, with water. Dip each rim into cinnamon sugar to coat. Set aside.
  3. Place apple juice, cinnamon schnapps, and cooled honey/water mixture in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake for about 20 to 30 seconds until well combined. Strain into prepared glass.
  4. Add champagne and gently stir to combine. Garnish glass with an apple slice.


Enjoy!
