Because Hot Apple Drinks Are Necessary

Because Hot Apple Drinks Are Necessary

Warm apple brews are the after hours version of cosy daytime red cup concotions, and the Smirnoff Hot Apple Bite is answering all our crisp evening prayers. This recipe combines triple distilled pure Smirnoff No.21 vodka, hello Saturday, with winter-warming apple juice and brown sugar. Some heated saucepan action and a glass mug with an apple slice for garnish – this is what you’re instagramming tonight. Now, which Christmas movie should we dig out?

Ingredients

Smirnoff Vodka?(50ml), Apple Juice (100ml), Brown Sugar (2tbsp), Apple Pur?e (1tbsp)

Method

Add all the ingredients to a saucepan. Warm on a low heat until the sugar has completely dissolved and the liquid is simmering. Pour into a glass mug. Garnish with a wedge of apple and topped with crushed biscut.
