11/10! Straight to the top of our favourite list. The mint and citrus added an extra fresh dimension to the apple schnapps. I left the tiny bits of green mint to float in the cocktail in the glass (no strain).

Looking for another cocktail to use the Bison Grass Vodka, and this was unbelievably good. Since our unsweetened apple juice is organic and a bit sweet, so we left out the sugar syrup. Flavourful and bright. Nice hint of mint and went perfectly with raw vegetables, goat cheese, and crackers. On our favourites.

Thanks, John. I've reduced all quantities by a 1/3 so it better fits the glass and I'll reshoot the image in the coming weeks. Present photo is pre-digital photography.
