Carmel Apple Gimlet Here in Michigan, Blake’s Hard Cider is where it’s at! Their Carmel apple cider is delicious, but too sweet for my wife to enjoy from the can, so I set about creating a cocktail with it that would let the wonderful flavor shine through, but not overpower with sweetness. This gimlet let’s those beautiful caramel tones shine while also upping the ABV and without a sugar overload.

Editor's Note

Local hard cider meets gin in this refreshing, apple-forward highball. A touch of lime and bitters cuts the sweetness, making for an easy-drinking autumn sipper.
