Autumn heralds the arrival of Kanzi apple season and to celebrate this the folks over at Kanzi Apple AU have provided us with two delicious cocktail recipes.
What youll need:
1 cup water
Directions for the apple and cinnamon gin fizz:
Combine all the apple syrup ingredients into a small saucepan on a low heat. Place a lid on and allow to simmer for 10 minutes then remove the lid and allow to simmer for a further 5 minutes or until it has reduced by a third and is a syrup consistency.
Drain using a sieve and allow the syrup to cool. Discard the pulp.
Pour the honey and ground cinnamon onto two separate small plates, press the rim of 4 glasses into the honey then into the cinnamon to coat the rim.
Add ice to fill 1/3 of each glass, divide the apple syrup between the glasses followed by adding a shot of gin per glass. Add an extra half shot if you prefer a stronger drink. Add the slices of freshly cut Kanzi apple and fill each glass with soda water.
Serve with a cinnamon stick in the drink and a slice of apple skewered by a bamboo skewer and placed across the top of the glass as a garnish.
Tip slice the Kanzi horizontally for a centre star pattern or slice vertically for a cute apple shape. You can use a toothpick to help balance a slice on top of a glass.
