Delicious Apple Cocktails From Around The Country to Try Now 

They say an “an apple a day keeps the doctor away,” but we are more the “a cocktail a day is how we play” types. Luckily this fall, bars are barrels full of creative apple cocktails. After all, what else could everyone do with the bushels picked all fall long – and splashed all over Instagram?

Some spiced, some sweet, check out these fruit-infused cocktails from four different cities around the country.

Chicago

Apple Pie Butterfly at Onward

In the Windy City, stop by Onward and try out the whimsical Apple Pie Butterfly cocktail. Created by Cocktail Director and Assistant General Manager Vicente Romero, this fall-forward cocktail showcases warm flavors with an apple-cinnamon syrup that perfectly complements the Dark Xaymaca Dry Rum, Cocchi Americano, lemon juice and light after taste of Absinthe.

The low ABV, easy-sipping cocktail cobbler is made with 5yr Bual Madeira, pineapple cordial, Gravenstein Apple, thyme and nutmeg for a light, sweet and fruity finish with complex nutty notes.

Los Angeles

Apple Peel Martini at MiniBar Hollywood

MiniBar Hollywood is a cool, retro-inspired cocktail spot located on the ground floor of the Best Western Hollywood Hills. For fall, lead bartender and general manager Jeremy Allen created a “cannibal cocktail,” which uses one ingredient in multiple ways. The Apple Peel features fresh apple juice, apple cider vinegar, Laird’s Apple Brandy, apple slice garnish, Four Roses Bourbon and Fee Walnut Bitters. “This cocktail screams fall without being a hot drink” says Allen. “The apple libation incorporates apple cider vinegar, which is also great for preventing colds and the flu.”

Cabin Fever at Bar Chloe

Bar Chloe is hands down one of the best cocktail bars in Santa Monica. A stone’s throw from the beach and Third Street Promenade, the low-lit bar is adorned with chandeliers and candles but offers a laid back seat yourself policy. More welcoming than many of Santa Monica’s “exclusive” hotel bars, have the bartender mix up the Cabin Fever this fall. The well-balanced cocktail is made with Rittenhouse Rye, apple, sour orange, ginger and old fashioned bitters.

Way more fun than the old school game, Katana’s Bobbing For Apples cocktail is made with Rittenhouse Rye Whiskey, Lairds’ Apple Brandy, demerara syrup, angostura bitters, orange bitters and garnished with a dehydrated apple slice and cinnamon stick dipped in 151 so it smokes when it lit.
