Apple

Apples, an ingredient used in drinks like the Apple Bottom and Apple Sauced

Apples (and apple juice) can be difficult ingredients to incorporate into cocktails, as the subtle flavors of a fresh apple can be lost among the stronger flavors or spirits and liqueurs. We like drinks that call for the apple to be muddled in the shaker, skin and all.

Fresh-pressed apple juice is always best, but it can be difficult if you don’t have a heavy-duty juicer to make it with. If you must buy it in a bottle, look for brands with no added sugar – the juice from the bottle should taste exactly as sweet as a ripe apple, but no sweeter.

Cocktail Party app on tablets and phones

Get the App

The Cocktail Party app tells you what you can make from the ingredients you have, and makes tailored recommendations about what to buy next. It's the best $3.99 you'll ever spend on your liquor collection.

Really Good App

We downloaded the app after seeing it as one of the top posts on /r/cocktails, and we've been playing around with it and adding our ingredients to the list. While it's not an all inclusive list of ingredients (missing some creme de ), it's a solid overall app and tosses out some truly spectacular recipes based on what you have in your liquor cabinet. Minor quibbles for an otherwise fantastic application!
