Well today is election day here in the United States, most of us feel like we will need some sort of a pain killing cocktail before the day is over and the results announced. Here is a good idea for a grass roots, earthy, grounded cocktail for your afternoon or evening.
Apples are in season right now and you can't find a better time for apple based cocktails. Here is an idea for a appletini made with unsweetened organic apple sauce. The applesauce, the rum, the vermouth and the syrup unite to give you a wonderful apple cinnamon base to a great sipping martini that has a little bit of substance to it.
Apple Sauce Rumtini
- 2 oz. Mount Gay Black Barrel Rum
- 2 tsp. Bahama Bob’s Cinnamon Honey Syrup
- ½ oz. Dolin’s White Vermouth
- 2 tsp. Organic Unsweetened Apple Sauce
Bahama Bob's Cinnamon Honey Syrup
- ½ Cup of Dark Brown Sugar
- ½ Cup Sugar in the Raw
- ½ Cup Pure Clover Honey
- 1 Cups of Water
- 1 Tbsp. Ground Cinnamon
- 1 Tsp. Lemon Juice
Place all
ingredients except the water and cinnamon in a pan and heat at 375 degrees
stirring until all melts into a liquid.
Slowly add the water and bring to a boil. Add Cinnamon and reduce heat to 230 degrees
and bring to a slow boil and continue stirring for 5 minutes. Pour into a dish that will not melt or crack
and place in refrigerator for about an hour.
Pour into a dispensing bottle and put into refrigerator until ready to
use.
