Tips for the Perfect Washington Apple Cocktail

Making the perfect Washington Apple cocktail is all about balance. If you prefer a sweeter drink, you can add a bit more cranberry juice or reduce the sour mix. On the other hand, if you like it a bit more tart, go heavier on the lemon juice. Experimenting with these ratios can lead to your ideal version of this cocktail.

Pairing Suggestions

This cocktail pairs wonderfully with a variety of appetizers. I recommend serving it alongside a cheese platter or fresh fruit skewers. The sweetness of the Washington Apple cocktail complements salty cheeses and bright fruits, making for a delightful tasting experience. For a heartier option, try it with spicy chicken wings—the contrast of flavors will surprise and delight your guests!
