Kick off Fall with Cranapple-tinis

I created my Sweet'N Low Cranapple-tini recipe as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars.  
All content is my own. #donthesitaste

There is nothing better after a long hot summer, 
than the crisp, cool air of Autumn.
The changing leaves, 
the anticipation of upcoming holidays, a new crop of fruits and vegetables,
the start of tailgating season...it is all so much fun.
I'm celebrating all of the fabulousness of Fall with a vibrant cocktail -
Cranapple-tinis.

Juicy and sweet, 
the perfect way to kick off the new season!

and a sprinkling of Sweet'N Low into a cocktail shaker.
Sweet'N  Low adds the perfect sweetness, 
to the tartness of the cranberry and the crispness of the apple. 
I also love it because it has zero calories, and we all know how those can add up. 
I use it to reduce the calories in drinks and almost anything that I would put sugar in.

One of the best parts about my
Autumn Cranapple-tini?
All those falling leaves in the air are the perfect drink accessory!

An Apple (Cocktail) a day...Festive Fall Drinks



I have been wanting to do a fun Fall cocktail using Apple Cider but
being the "Ironic, Play on Words Addict" that I am,
 I couldn't decide between two ideas so...I made both.

My twist on the Sidecar-
The Apple Cide-car...



 I usually steer clear of Bourbon drinks,
 but this cocktail may have converted me.
Slightly sweet with touches of oak and caramel,
it tastes like a little bit of Autumn in a glass.


The Apple Cide-Car
In a Cocktail Shaker with ice
add 4 oz Apple Cider
1 oz Bourbon (I use Maker's Mark)
Squeeze of Lemon
Shake and pour into sugar rimmed martini glass 
Garnish with Apple Slice


Then I was bitten by a spider, 
The Apple Spider...

Crisp and refreshing,
just like a perfect Fall day
(minus the Spider crawling around!)...




The Apple Spider
In a Cocktail Shaker with ice,
Shake 4 oz Apple Cider with 
1 oz Apple flavored vodka
Pour into an ice filled glass then
top with a splash of club soda
Garnish with Apple Slice and Spider

Cheers!
