Update: This post was originally published in November 2016. I made edits to the photos and added a recipe video to show you how exactly how easy this cocktail is to make! However, the actual story and written words below in this post remain the same.

Hi friends! Happy Thursday! How has the second week of November been treating you? I certainly hope it has been fine and dandy! BUT, in case it has been anything but all that jazz, rest assured your day is about to get infinitely better. Why? Because today we are drinking cocktails! *Clink clink*

And, if you are one of those individuals who needs a reason to indulge in a few bevies, I have not one but three – yes, THREE -reasons to get your cocktail on! High fives! ✋

One. I’ll go ahead and state the very obvious. It IS #ThirstyThursday.

Two. Thanksgiving is exactly TWO weeks away. Holy moly, right? Only FOURTEEN days. I need a drink just to digest that information. But, your Thanksgiving celebration also needs, nay REQUIRES this house cocktail. And obviously you need to taste test this libation and tweak it to your liking before serving it up, pretty pitcher style, to your guests.

Three. The election was this week and I KNOW I am not the only one who NEEDS a drink after all that. Regardless of who you voted for, watching the polls come in was edge-of-your-seat, bite-your-nails-down-to-baby-stubs type of stressful. While we are clearly a nation divided on politics, I think we can all agree we deserve a cocktail. Or seven. 😉

So WITH rhyme and reason, let’s imbibe! 😉

Apple & Gin Autumn Cocktail

You guys, this drink is THE perfect autumn sipper and it would be a fabulous addition to your Thanksgiving celebration. I mean, it’s just not a party without a cocktail or two.

Am I right or am I right?

Tart, slightly sweet, and impossibly smooth with a fruity apple forward taste, hints of warm cinnamon spice and a touch of herbaceous thyme, this gin cocktail isn’t just easy on the eyes, it is also downright DELISH.

Filled to the brim with cozy, warm, fall flavors (and booze), this cocktail just might rival your dessert.

What are the best varieties of apples for cocktails?

Fresh apples add a delicious touch of fruity flavor and provide a beautiful aesthetic in cocktails! When it comes to fresh apples in a cocktail, anything goes! If you are looking for a robust flavor and pretty presentation, use a combination of different varieties of apples. But, whatever apple you chose, be sure to pick a variety you actually enjoy eating!

Apples to use in a cocktail

  • Golden Delicious apples are mellow and sweet in flavor. They are a cheery bright yellow in color.
  • Red Delicious apples are similar to golden delicious; however, they are less sweet in flavor and red in color.
  • Honeycrisp apples are incredibly juicy with a moderately sweet and subtly tart flavor.
  • Gala apples are aromatically-sweet and feature a pretty pink-orange stripe atop a yellow background.
  • Pink Lady apples have a unique sweet-tart flavor and are named for their bright pink skin.
  • Gala apples are aromatically-sweet and feature a pretty pink-orange stripe atop a yellow background.
  • Granny Smith apples have a delicious tart flavor and are pale green in color! I love pairing them with a sweeter variety of apples.

Notes, Tips & Tricks for the best Apple & Gin Autumn Cocktail recipe:

  1. Taste it! Always make your cocktails to taste! The measurements in the recipe below are just my recommendations. You should use the recipe as a guideline and not a rule book. If you like a stiffer drink, use more gin. If you really love cinnamon, add more than a dash. Do you!
  2. Simple Syrup: You can make the honey simple syrup one of two ways. The quick way: mix the honey and water in a mason jar, or a container with a tight fitting lid and shake vigorously until the honey dissolves. You just need to make sure the water you are using is HOT. The slower way: combine the honey and water in a small saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir until the honey dissolves. Both methods end up with the same result – honey simple syrup.
  3. Cider: I used fresh apple cider in the recipe below, but you can use hard apple cider if you really want to get the party started. 😉
  4. Batch Cocktails: You can easily triple or quadruple (or more) this recipe if serving a crowd. This cocktail would look really pretty in a pitcher with the apple and thyme garnishes. Or, you could serve it party punch style in a big ‘ole bowl! It would be the perfect party bowl Thanksgiving cocktail!

Toast the gifts of Thanksgiving and the ones you love with this Apple & Gin Autumn Cocktail.

Until next week friends, Cheers – to quenching your Thursday thirst.

XOXO

    Did not think apple and gin would pair so well. The lime juice and honey kind of meld it all together and cuts down the pungency of the gin. A big hit at Thanksgiving. So smooth I drank 3 without realizing it 😉 Will make again.

      Hi Stephanie,
      That’s a great question!! I’ve updated the post to include a section describing what apples are best for this cocktail. While it totally depends on what type of flavors you like, my main advice would be to select a variety of apples you actually enjoy eating. I tend to use Pink Lady or Honeycrisp apples, but that’s strictly based upon my personal preference. If you aren’t sure what you like, you could always use a combination of apples!
      Please let me know if you have any other questions as I’m always happy to help! Cheers and warm wishes for a wonderful holiday season!

    Really super cocktail. I made this using Prairie Organic Gin, homemade hard cider, Nellie & Joe’s Key Lime Juice, and a Honey Ginger Syrup (equal parts local honey and Monin’s Ginger Syrup, heated to blend).

    Beautiful drink and tasty, too!

    You might want to add the apple cider after shaking the rest of the ingredients? Otherwise you loose the sparkles and might end up covered in cocktail 🙂

      Hi Tom,
      The recipe calls for regular apple cider, which should not cause any fizzing or exploding. You can absolutely substitute sparkling apple cider, which would be delicious, but yes, then I would recommend stirring it in or using it to top off the cocktail. Cheers!

    You’re the Queen of Fancy Coctails, Chey. Well, you’re the Queen of many things, but the drinks are your special niche (I hope this doesn’t sound like I’m saying you have a drinking issue haha). Another great thing is that, in my book, drinks are one of the most complicated things to shoot, so I’m so jealous of you always taking beautiful photographs!

Usually we do Tanqueray Ten or Hendrick’s but bought Bombay the other day and I’m going use it for this recipe. So perfect for Thanksgiving cocktail hour before dinner. Having a Friendsgiving the Friday after the holiday and I’m making this. Everyone’s going to love it!

Whaaaaaaa?? How did that happen? Weren’t we just talking about summer plans like two seconds ago? Goodness. I’ll need at least three of these to digest all this info. Lol.

    First. It’s Friday, and I obviously missed the #ThirstyThursday.
    Second. We had our Thanksgiving exactly 5 weeks ago.
    Third. Unfortunately (or might be fortunately) we didn’t have any elections this week.
    Question: Do you think I still deserve this delicious drink, Chey? If yes, send me 5 please, if no – only 2!:) Happy Friday and have a fantastic weekend!

    Another cocktail!!! I love it, I’m ready to wet my whistle 🙂 I’m a total Gin lover which is funny, most people hate gin but there’s something about the smooth cucumber flavor that warms my tummy. The apples and cinnamon remind me of fall, since I’m in California and still wearing shorts I always need a little fall reminder.

    You’re so right, we can all agree we need cocktails. This was the week we needed them 🙂 . I love this cocktail, a true libation thirst quencher. I love the honey simple syrup that gets shaken in a jar, how easy it that. Gorgeous photos! Take care.

    Whoa! That was a wake-up call for me this am. Thanksgiving is in two weeks? I gotta get on the ball. And this cocktail needs to go on the menu. Loving the honey simple syrup and those sprigs of thyme. Autumn in a glass!

    Hooray for Thirsty Thursday and this GORGEOUS cocktail! I definitely need a drink (or five) after this week. And I’m in disbelief that we’re just two weeks away from Thanksgiving. Seriously, we need a pause button in life! This drink is absolutely stunning, Cheyanne! I love the apple and gin combo. Sounds so refreshing! I’m normally not a gin fan, but I think this would go down quite easily. Such a pretty presentation, too. Pinned, of course! Happy weekend to you!

    Is it already Thirsty Thursday? Where did the week go? I don’t think I need any more reasons to indulge in a drink or two 😉 Love the idea of delicious fall flavours in a glass – Cheers! Have a lovely weekend!

    The same as Angie above: I am not a big cocktail drinker, but your cocktails always put me in the mood for having some, I have already tried a couple already. 🙂
