Kept it simple with more gin, fresh green apple juice, 2 teaspoons of Giffards green apple syrup. Was happily drunk by all and definitely going to be a summer martini/spritz!

I tried this with edelflower syrup instead sugar syrup. Good !

I was expecting a 'showcase' for recently acquired Eager Apple Juice, but the vodka burns through the fresh bucolic fruitiness like a branding iron, making an intriguing collision of flavours and effects. I will try this cocktail again, perhaps increasing the apple juice a tad to compare the outcome. An appealing 'northern' drink with the Dutch vodka and cool climate apple components.

It was pretty nice with freshly hand-pressed apple juice. That cherry garnish instead of a classic apple slice looks beautiful too!

By the end, I found this relatively moreish. Likely going to return to this and experiment.

Found this to be a good drink, especially after adding 1/8-1/4 oz lemon juice to give it some pop. I'm using a hazy, 100% apple, organic juice, but I'm wondering if a particular variety of apple would best compliment the sugar syrup and drink as a whole. Do you have a particular article or source examining apple juice as an ingredient in cocktails? Admittedly, I haven't used apple juice until recently when attempting Bradsell's 'Treacle'.

I've been using Eager apple juice for years and to be honest I've not tried using other juices. However, the flavour when eating apples from one variety to the next varies so much that I'm sure the choice of juice would impact cocktails. Dick specified cheap clear apple juice for his Treacle cocktail.
