Cider Dark & Stormy

Cider Dark & Stormy:  Kim & AJ

When asked to come up with an apple cocktail, most of us would probably think of an Appletini.
 Kim & AJ thought outside the box and delighted us with a very unique and creative play on an apple drink - the Cider Dark & Stormy.

Made with lemon, simple syrup, scotch, and apple cider - with a surprise visit from lavender - this drink was the perfect refreshment for a hot Fall day in Tucson!

Recipe:

1 sprig fresh lavender
lemon wedge
1/2 oz simple syrup
3/4 oz fresh lemon juice
2 oz scotch
4 oz apple cider

Add liquid ingredients to a shaker and shake with ice.  Strain into a tall Collins glass.  Garnish with lavender and lemon.

Makes 1 serving.
