Cocktail

1 1/2 oz Beefeater gin1/2 oz apple eau-de-vie (or clear apple brandy)1/2 oz fino sherry3 oz green apple & celery soda (chilled)2 dash orange bitters6 count ice (clear cubes)1 pinch fine-grain sea salt (optional, for rim)1 sprig microgreen or celery leaf (garnish)1 slice thin apple slice (garnish)

Method

Cocktail

Prepare glass

Chill a highball or Collins glass by filling with ice and setting aside for 2–3 minutes, or place in freezer for 5 minutes. If you prefer a faint saline accent, run a lemon or apple wedge around the rim and dip lightly into the fine-grain sea salt; set glass aside.

Build base

Discard the chilling ice from the glass. Add 6 clear ice cubes to the chilled glass. Pour in 1.5 oz Beefeater gin, 0.5 oz apple eau-de-vie, and 0.5 oz fino sherry directly over the ice.

Add bitters

Add 2 dashes of orange bitters directly into the glass. Gently roll the drink once with a bar spoon (a single slow swirl) to mix the spirits and bitters without excessive dilution.

Top with soda

Carefully top the mixture with about 3 oz chilled green apple & celery soda. Pour gently over the back of a bar spoon if you want to preserve a light layered look. Stir once gently 2–3 turns to integrate the soda with the spirit base.

Garnish and finish

Float a single thin apple slice against the inside of the glass and place a small celery leaf or microgreen sprig on top as garnish. Serve immediately with a short straw.
