Apple Snap Cocktails

Apple Snap Cocktails (4)

[I]t’s time for a new go-to cocktail.  This summer’s negroni and sangria indulgences are long past me.  I’m looking for an Autumn cocktail that feels ample and cozy… but nothing like mulled wine or syrupy sweet pear drinks.

Has there ever been a tasty mulled wine?  I think no.

Apple Snap Cocktails

I wanted to combine the sweetness of fruit with the spiciness of the season.  Apple juice.  Fresh pressed and unfiltered.  Bourbon, naturally.  Lime and bubble water.  But spiiiiice! Needed and necessary.

Have you heard of Art In The Age?  They make the most lovely, unique organic spirits.  My favorite this season is SNAP, inspired by old school Pennsylvania Dutch ginger snaps.  Yessss, right?

SNAP is made from a neutral alcohol, molasses, ginger, vanilla, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, tea, and sugar.  So so good!  Pairs perfectly with bourbon (yes!) and fresh apple.  I’ll be sipping on this SNAP all winter and I’m pretty sure I’ll keep a bottle or two around for hostess gifts.  It’s a treat.

Apple Snap Cocktails (1)

Ice:  crushed or cubed.  (This is the ice crusher I use and it’s a champ.

Equal parts bourbon and SNAP.  Be generous not coy.

Apple Snap Cocktails (2)

Fresh apple juice.  The gnarly, unfiltered sort.

Sparkling water and lime for bubbles and tang.

Apple Snap Cocktails (3)

Sliced apples and paper straws because we’re darling like.  These cocktails are sweet, round, and spiced without being cloying in any way.  I love the golden glow.

Cheers to us!  Here’s how.

    This looks delightful and perfectly fall! I ran into two liqueur stores looking for SNAP, so far no luck, but I am determined!

    This cocktail is AH-mazing! I had a girls night in for Halloween night and this cocktail was definitely the star. It is exactly as advertised, not too sweet and the SNAP liquor is unbelievable. The quintessential fall cocktail

    Coolest as an (apple) cuke name for a cocktail ever. Your mulled wine comment made me chuckle – it is kind of barfy, isn’t it! Still, my mom excitedly serves it every year at her annual holiday Christmas sing-a-long with the cinnamon sticks and satchel of spices. SNAP is just the perfect onomatopoeic and addictive word for this bev! xo

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! I live about an hour from where Snap is made & never heard of it. I bought bourbon yesterday, and I plan to stop at a liquor store this evening to pick up a bottle of Snap. Yay! This looks like a great company & I can’t wait to try all the different flavors!
