Holiday Cocktail #7: App-Belle Tini

App-Belle Tini

1 1/2 oz Belle Meade Bourbon Whiskey
1/4 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
1 oz Apple Cider Syrup*
10 drops of Bittermen’s Tiki Bitters
3 drops of Fee Bros. Barrel Aged Bitters
1 Dehydrated Apple Slice

In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add everything except the dehydrated apple slice. Shake until very cold. Fine strain the liquid into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a dehydrated apple slice.

*Apple Cider Syrup recipe: In a pot, add 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 cup of apple cider and 3-5 cinnamon sticks. Place on the stove on a low heat. Stir occasionally to help the sugar dissolve. Once it begins to boil, remove and fine strain into a container of choice and let it come to room temperature. Then, place it in a vessel of choice and keep refrigerated.
