Apple Cordial

1d 10m

If you have a kid who doesn’t eat apple peels or you’re cooking a recipe that doesn’t use the peels, you should use them in this recipe. It is made from the leftovers from one apple, so you can increase the measurements to fit your purpose.

An apple cordial is almost like an apple syrup made for gimlets, but you can use it in different cocktails to add sweetness and a crispy apple flavor. Since this version is alcohol-free, you can be creative and use it on different juices and refreshers.

I created this recipe because my daughter doesn't eat apples with peels, but she also loves apples. So, during this summer, we had a lot of peels going to the bin. I have done plenty of cordials, and I love to use them in cocktails, so I made leftover apple cordial.

Because many of the single malt whiskeys have fresh and green notes, I decided to make a whiskey gimlet with leftover apple cordial and it was delicious and super crispy!
