The Applecar, with its base of Applejack and citrus, belongs to the Sour family of cocktails. Its origin is likely a modern twist on classic sour recipes, incorporating the unique flavor of Applejack, a spirit distilled from apple cider.
The Applecar is a tart and sweet cocktail with a delightful balance. Applejack’s rustic apple flavor shines through, softened by the citrusy zest of Triple Sec. Lemon juice adds a bright acidity that cuts through the sweetness, creating a refreshing and complex experience. It’s a perfect blend of fruity sweetness and tartness, with a subtle hint of applejack’s unique character.
For a crisp Applecar, chill your ingredients beforehand. Use fresh lemon juice for optimal flavor. Shake vigorously with ice to ensure proper dilution and a refreshing chill. Strain into a chilled coupe glass, and garnish with a lemon twist for an elegant touch.
