Apple Knocker

This simple shaken cocktail brings together vodka’s clean bite with the mellow sweetness of fresh apple cider.

A squeeze of lemon keeps things bright while strawberry liqueur adds a pink blush and subtle berry note.

Shake it all hard over ice until the shaker frosts over, then strain into a glass.

Bartender Tips

• Use fresh-pressed apple cider in fall for maximum flavor, not the clear filtered kind
• Shake vigorously for at least 15 seconds to properly chill and dilute the drink
• The strawberry liqueur is just a hint; don’t overdo it or it will overpower the apple
• Serve immediately while ice-cold for the most refreshing experience
