Bartender's Watering Hole :: We'll Shell You Later

Granny’s Mojito

Prep Time: 6 min.

Level: Easy

Yields: One Drink

Ingredients:

2  1/4 oz Vodka *Grey Goose

1/2 oz Triple Second *Your Choice

3/4 oz Simple Syrup *2:1 ratio of sugar and water

2 Green Apple Slices *Granny Smith

2 Bright Red Apple Slices *Your choice

Apple Cider *Martinelli’s

Mint Leaves *4 Muddled – Bunch for Garnish

Tools: Muddler, Knife, and Shaker

Here’s how it’s done!
Step 1. Cut your four slices of apples–fairly thin slices, shy of 1/4 in. Set aside. Cut your four mint leaves in half and also set aside.
Step 2. You’ll need a rather tall glass–no less than 12 oz. Toss in enough ice to fill 1/4 of the glass.
Step 3. With the ice, toss in your apple slices and mint. Add your simple syrup and muddle away.
Step 4. Fill glass with ice.
Step 5. Add Vodka & Triple Sec.
Step 6. Shake only a few times to mix ingredients–for a light alcohol flavor shake longer.
Step 7. Pour all back into original glass and fill that vacant space with your cider.
Step 8. Garnish with two thin apple slices, one red and one green (to add a little pizazz, sugar your apples). Place mint bunch on ice.
