An Apple a Day…The Granny Smith!

Fire! In this cocktail… I’ve been thinking about shooting some fire for a while and since I make and shoot 99% of these cocktails alone I thought I would take it easy(ish) on myself and do the Granny Smith cocktail from the Aviary Cocktail Book, and hope that I didn't set my house on fire. It was fine and I got to experiment with some moodier lighting, so that was fun. Now to come up with my own recipe!
There were some slight variations from the original recipe, usually I try to replicate these Aviary cocktails exactly, buuuuut I’ve managed to accrue quite the collection of Alcohol and since I happened to have both Mezcal and Tequila blanco in my bar right now I couldn't really be bothered to go out and find the exact right bottles. I also substituted the simple syrup with Agave Syrup and cut the quantity in half. Why would I do that you ask? Well, I’m doing what I like to think of as a 30 day reset, no refined sugar, processed foods or alcohol (except obviously I drank this cocktail and there’s a tiny bit of sugar in the apple juice…oops). This is just me being transparent and you should feel free to follow the original recipe.

We all know the saying that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. This is true because I have read that apple are good for our lungs and it helps boost the immune system. A function that is responsible to fight the different sicknesses that we may have. Let us be wise and let us buy some fruits so that we may enjoy a healthy life. Let us prioritize our health.
