Apple Grass

I would highly recommend getting into this for spring! It is excellent, but I liked it more with Stirrings Ginger liqueur vs the syrup. For the apple juice do not use a lower grade juice which tend to add high fructose corn syrup or has added sugar. Definitely use a 'cold pressed' juice and not from concentrate. (You'll thank me later.)

Why I love this drink: Zubrowka and Polish apple juice are very loved item in Poland and this cocktail brings back so many fond memories.

Ok, I'll thank you, even though I was already going to use proper apple juice.
In return, I will suggest you give it a dusting of freshly ground cinnamon. You will either thank me later, or curse me for committing sacrilege against your Polish traditions, in which case I'm sorry...

What a horrible experience. The egg mixture coagulated, making the "frothy head" taste like spiced wet scambled eggs, followed by hot watered down cognac.
I must have done something horribly wrong. Otherwise people wouldn't have enjoyed this cocktail since before 1862.

I've been through 4 bottles of montenegro since I discovered this cocktail just before christmas.
It's a crowd pleaser and a great cocktail for friends who are driving but want something special.
Every friday at sunset, it's monte mule time!
I use lemon instead of lime and if I want it more boozy, I use 2 shots montenegro.

I know exactly what you mean. Each time I buy a bottle, I promise myself I will try some of the other great cocktails with it.
15 Monte Mules later, oh well, maybe next time...

Using a homemade sharpened spoon, it took less than four minutes to hollow out the pineapple. That made it much less of a hassle.
I also added some passion fruit syrup, and it didn't make it any less delicious...
