↓ Jump to recipeQuick answer
An apple pie cocktail combines 30 ml Swa Apple Pie syrup, 30 ml vodka and 30 ml Fireball whiskey, shaken and poured over ice into a glass rimmed with honey, cinnamon and sugar, then topped with 120 ml ginger ale or soda. It tastes like liquid apple pie and takes under 30 seconds.
Why does this cocktail work?
It tastes like liquid apple pie, with spice from the cinnamon rim and sweetness from the Swa Apple Pie syrup. Make one or a batch with a few simple ingredients.
Where does it fit on a bar menu?
It suits cozy winter nights and festive menus. A honey and cinnamon-sugar rim makes it look special, and the three equal 30 ml pours keep it consistent. More ideas at Swa for bars.

Top with soda in place of ginger ale for a drier finish. Garnish with a cinnamon stick and fresh apple slices.
