My friend Marc and I enjoying the cocktails.
Wanting to give a unique gift to some friends who recently got married, I offered to create an original cocktail to be offered at the rehearsal dinner which all of the guests were invited to. The restaurant was happy to accommodate me since I would be picking up the tab for all of the guests who ordered the drink which meant more business for them. The groom loves gin, the bride likes fruity but not too sweet, and the wedding was the weekend before Thanksgiving. Here's what I came up with.
2oz of Gin (the bar had Bombay Saphire)
1oz of Apple Cider
1/2oz Nocello Walnut Liqueur
dash of lemon juice
Thin apple slice for garnish
Shake all ingredients 20 times over ice and strain into a chilled martini glass. Add apple slice.
The sweetness of the apple cider is tempered by the gin and accented by the walnut liqueur. Judging by my bar tab I'd say it was a hit.
