This refreshing aperitif, a brainchild of David Arnold of the French Culinary Institute, bathes crisp matchsticks of Pink Lady apple with soju (a Korean spirit) and a little sparkle. Gourmet Magazine, 10/07 edition. I saw this cocktail and it looked interesting - thought I'd post it and see what kind of reaction it got. Chilling time at least 30 mins and up to 2 hours. Ingredients:
1 pink lady apples or 1 granny smith apple |
2 cups soju wine (korean wine) or 2 cups sake |
5 cups chilled tonic water (40 fl.oz. ) |
8 lime wedges |
Directions:
1. Equipment: an adjustable-blade slicer fitted with 1/4-inch julienne blade
2. Cut apple into matchsticks with slicer, discarding core, then put in a pitcher and stir in soju.
3. Let macerate, covered and chilled, at least 30 minutes.
4. Fill 8 (12-ounce) double Old Fashioned glasses with ice.
5. Strain about 1/4 cup soju into each glass, then add some apple pieces to each glass.
6. Top off drinks with tonic and serve with lime wedges.
