Thirsty Thursday…Gingered Apple Sparkler

Here’s a drink that I think has a bit of a Fall feel to it. It’s called a Gingered Apple Sparkler. This cocktail is spicy and sweet and an nice alternative to the typical apple martini.

Gingered Apple Sparkler

• Ice
• 1 1/2 ounces citrus vodka
• 1 1/2 ounces sour apple liqueur
• Splash of Angostura bitters
• 4 ounces chilled ginger beer
• 1 maraschino cherry

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the vodka, liqueur, and bitters. Shake well. Strain into an ice-filled highball glass. Top with the ginger beer. Garnish with a maraschino cherry.

Enjoy!
