I’ve been really inspired by all the fresh apples that are in season right now, and even at the small market in our town, we’ve been getting a great selection. Honeycrisp (my favorite for snacking), Fuji, and those gorgeous Pink Pearl apples that have a green skin and bright pink flesh. Oh my, I’ve been in heaven.
I wanted to create a sparkly apple spritz in celebration of apple season, based on the King’s Landing recipe in the new Death & Co Cocktail Codex book (which you should buy if you haven’t already). I’ve topped this apple-y beauty with the elevated Prosecco, Santa Margherita Prosecco Superiore made from Glera grapes grown in Valdobbiadene, Italy;a region that now has its own DOCG classification. This specific Prosecco adds another layer of flavor to this cocktail, a bright, crisp, fruity flavor of apple and pear. I wanted to add a bit more spice, so there’s a dash of star anise; as well as a bitter kick, to help balance out the sweetness. This beautiful number is sure to be on repeat throughout the holidays!
