GERMAN APPLE STRUDEL COCKTAIL

I know, it's not Thirsty Tuesday yet but hey, life is about breaking some rules and living it up. I' m really getting better at my Cocktail making game! Allow me to digress a bit, so I recently saw a preview for a new reality TV show where the contestants are either professional or amateur mixologists or simply bar tenders, the goal each week will be to prepare and present the most unique and spectacular African Cocktail! So you can imagine my excitement at getting to see all these great mixologists at work! I always see in movies bar tenders doing all those crazy tricks throwing bottles around and mixing exotic drinks and I'm really impressed! Okay so back to today's Cocktail Drink. Apple juice has this clean tangy sweet taste that just dances on your palette. Add Vodka, then sprinkle with Cinnamon and you have the base for a literally perfect drink. I know it's still cold in Nairobi, it being July and all, but, the sweetness, spicy tangy flavors of this drink will warm you up. Or you can just curl up with your partner and watch a James Bond Movie, Pierce Brosnan all the way for me 😉😉.. lets get mixin'. This German Apple Strudel Cocktail adapted from here. I was just reading on the different Cocktails that one can make and I stumbled upon this recipe so I decided I might as well try it, it looked interesting and delicious. The best thing about Cocktails is that you can always add whatever condiments, spices, bitters and flavors that you like. You can experiment and find out what works best for your taste buds. So enjoy my recreation of this amazing cocktail, try it and let me know what you think!
