I made this Apple Pie Cocktail with all the love in my heart. After finishing making the Mezcal Espresso Martini, I thought to myself, why not make a fruity and creamy cocktail this time? That’s when the Apple Pie Cocktail came to mind.
The taste was truly delicious, just like a creamy apple pie. I used Vanilla Vodka as the main ingredient, along with apple cider, simple syrup, and lemon juice, and I topped it with some whipped cream for a nice touch.
Last weekend was great, and the drinks I made made the moments even livelier. My wife really loved the taste of both drinks, but she especially loved the Apple Pie Cocktail since she loves fruity flavors.
What to Eat with this Apple Pie Cocktail?
I liked the taste of this Apple Pie Cocktail with a warm slice of traditional apple pie, but cinnamon rolls will enhance its flavors too if you choose it. You can also try pairing it with roasted nuts, like almonds or pecans, and finally, a sugar dusted donut can be a great option to enjoy alongside it.
