This is the perfect cocktail for autumn

In the summer on a terrace in the sun with a fresh mojito, wonderful! But yes, that time is unfortunately over. That doesn't mean we have to leave this cocktail behind. We just give it an autumn twist. The Apple Pie Mojito is the perfect cocktail for this season and we are sharing the recipe.

A classic mojito contains at least mint and lime. These two ingredients cannot be missing in the autumn variant either. For one cocktail, you need 4 wedges of lime and 3 or 4 mint leaves. Where you would normally go for rum, this time we choose a caramel vodka. We combine that with a cloudy apple juice, after all, it's an apple pie drink. The last, definitely indispensable, ingredient is a lot of ice. Preferably already crushed, but it should work with ice cubes as well.

Now that we have gathered all the ingredients, it's time to make the cocktail. First, place the lime wedges at the bottom of the glass. You will then gently muddle them, or as they call it in the cocktail world: muddle. Then do the same with the mint leaves, but you have to be extra careful here. If you muddle too hard, the leaves will break and you certainly don't want that. Then add 30 ml of caramel vodka and fill the glass to the brim with ice. Finally, top it off with the apple juice, also 30 ml, and stir well. For extra garnish, you can add a few slices of apple with cinnamon. And, voilà the cocktail is ready.

Would you prefer a non-alcoholic variant? Then you can replace the vodka with Dark Cane spirit. Similar in taste to rum, but without alcohol. You also add a little bit of caramel. This combination provides that characteristic apple pie flavor.

Cheers! To autumn and a cozy cocktail evening.
