Recipe Tips
- Be sure to use the best ingredients you can find. In using fresh fruits, use organic and clean them super well.
- In choosing an apple cider, pick one that is local without a lot of added spices (we will be adding our own!).
- Adding whiskey is one way to bring it to the next level. Choose a mid to top-shelf whiskey. Choosing a bottom-shelf whiskey will overpower the symphony of fruit flavors we’re aiming for with an unwelcomed bitter note. You can also leave it out.
