Description
These spooky green Poison Apple Cocktails are perfect for Halloween! They're easy to make with tequila, sour apple schnapps liqueur, lime juice and simple syrup. Sour, tart, sweet, and so much fun!
Ingredients
- 1 ounce sour apple schnapps liqueur
- 1 ounce silver (blanco) tequila
- 3/4 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
- 3/4 ounce simple syrup
- Optional: 1/4 tsp edible green shimmer dust
- Optional rim: 1 tbsp simple syrup and 1 tbsp black or regular salt
Instructions
- If making a salt rim, dip the edge of your cocktail glass in simple syrup (or use a lime wedge to moisten the rim), then roll the rim of the glass in salt.
- Add sour apple schnapps, tequila, lime juice and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker filled halfway with ice. Shake well for ~10 seconds.
- If adding in shimmer dust, add in and shake for a few more seconds.
- Strain into salt-rimmed cocktail glass and enjoy.
Notes
If you don't have shimmer dust but still want a bright green color, add in a drop or two of green food coloring before shaking the cocktail.
How to make simple syrup: Bring equal parts sugar and water to a simmer in a small saucepan, stir until sugar dissolves, remove from heat and let cool. For a small batch, we suggest ½ cup each of sugar and water. Store in refrigerator.
With or without salt rim: This poison apple cocktail is great with or without the rim. We added one since it's similar to a margarita recipe, but feel free to drink as is.
Make ahead: If you want to make a large batch for entertaining, you can measure out all of the ingredients several hours before serving. Just be sure to stir or shake well again before serving so all of the ingredients are evenly mixed.
