Apple Whiskey Makes The fruity apple flavor pop…

To really make that fruity apple flavor pop in this apple cider mimosa, we’ll add a hint of Crown Royal apple whiskey . It tastes like smooth and fruity liquid apples… A dash of 100% pure maple syrup is added and then balanced with a splash of fresh-squeezed lemon juice.

The mix of sweet maple syrup and bright zesty lemon really adds a delicious taste to this fall mimosa with apple cider and apple whiskey.

I love using Crown Royal Regal Apple as my apple flavored whiskey in this easy fall drink, but you can use your favorite brand of delicious apple whiskey such as Jim Beam Apple or Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Apple Whiskey.

The other things to keep in mind are the lemon juice and maple syrup. I highly recommend using fresh-squeezed lemon juice from fresh juicy lemons. This cocktail only takes about half an ounce of fresh lemon juice. You won’t need more than one lemon to make two of these easy apple cider mimosa cocktails.

Next is good maple syrup! Be sure to use nice authentic 100% pure maple syrup for the cocktail recipe. It will give you that sweet, nutty, almost brown sugar type caramel-like sweetness in the background. Just a little bit goes a long way.

The rest comes together pretty quickly in the cocktail shaker as you splash in the apple whiskey and apple juice. You can use your favorite brand of genuine pressed apple cider. You can also use pure pressed apple juice such as Honeycrisp apple juice. Here’s what you’ll need to make easy apple mimosas.
