APPLE HIGHBALL
This refreshing historical highball combines the robust, fruity warmth of applejack with the effervescence of ginger ale or sparkling water. A classic American spirit, applejack brings a distinct apple aroma that pairs perfectly with the crisp bubbles and bright citrus notes from the lemon peel garnish. Served over ice, it makes for a simple yet satisfying cocktail perfect for sipping on a warm afternoon or as a pre-dinner aperitif.
