💡 Pro Tips for the Perfect Poison Apple Cocktail
- Chill Your Glass
Pop your cocktail glass in the freezer for a few minutes before serving to keep your drink colder, longer. - Use Fresh Apple Cider
Fresh, unfiltered apple cider adds more depth and natural sweetness than store-bought versions. - Adjust Sweetness
Prefer a sweeter cocktail? Add a splash of simple syrup or maple syrup to taste. - Make it Sparkle
Add the gold luster dust last and give it a gentle swirl in the glass for an enchanting shimmer effect. - Add a Spooky Touch
Use a black sugar rim or a dry ice pellet (with caution!) for a foggy, eerie effect that’s perfect for Halloween parties. - Batch It for Parties
Multiply the ingredients and mix in a large pitcher without ice. Chill in the fridge, then shake individual servings with ice before pouring.
