RECIPE:
APPLE AND BLACKBERRY CRUMBLE COCKTAIL
Apple and blackberry season is here! With blackberries in every hedgerow and trees laden with apples, this is a fantastic and sustainable cocktail recipe for you to try at home!
* The measures of vodka and apple juice are per cocktail but the ingredients for the blackberry and vanilla vodka make a whole bottle and the crumble ingredients make enough for about 16 cocktails too.
Ingredients
50ml Blackberry and vanilla vodka
100ml Cloudy apple juice
(per cocktail)
Blackberry and Vanilla Vodka:
70cl Bottle vodka
500g Blackberries
2 Vanilla pods
Kilner jar
Crumble Topping:
100g Plain white flour
25g Butter, cold, cubed
75g Caster sugar
Toffee sauce (we make our own but you can a good quality one from a supermarket)
Recipe
Blackberry and Vanilla Vodka:
Split the vanilla pods and add them to the kilner jar with the vodka and blackberries. Muddle and shake (remember to close the lid first!!). Leave to infuse for 7 days. Strain through muslin.
Crumble Topping:
Rub the butter into the flour until you get a light breadcrumb texture. Mix through the sugar until combined. Bake for 20-30 minutes at 180C until golden brown. Leave to cool to room temperature. Place in the fridge for 1 hour. Blitz in a blender until a fine crumb. Refrigerate until needed.
To Serve:
Add the blackberry and vanilla vodka, apple juice and some ice into a cocktail shaker and shake (Tom Cruise style) until the mix is chilled. Dip the rim of a coupe glass into the toffee sauce, then the crumble mix. Strain the chilled vodka and apple juice mix into the coupe glass. Sit back and enjoy!
