What's more American than Apple Pie?
Easy as pie to make too with only 3 ingredients.
Tastes like Autumn: rainy days, colorful leaves and cozy fireplaces, hanging with your buddies.
I must admit, I do love Crown Royal, the regular, the Black, the Maple.
So, of course, we bought the Apple Crown Royal.
However,I did NOT like the Apple Crown Royal and every time I looked in the liquor cabinet I felt a bit guilty for not liking it.
So, I am thrilled to use it in this awesome cocktail!
You could pre-make this for parties, tail-gating or whatever. Serve it shaken and strained for a martini, over ice in a rocks glass or shots.
Have fun.
Makes 1 large martini
Ingredients
3 oz apple juice, unfiltered
2 oz Fireball,or other cinnamon whiskey
1 oz Apple Crown Royal, or other apple whiskey
Mix all ingredients.
Serve over ice, or shake in a martini shaker and strain into a martini glass.
I am NO fan of the famed Green Bean Casserole for Thanksgiving.
I respect that it may be a favorite of yours.
I get that. I just don't want it.
However, I just found something that I would want:
Creamed Spinach with French Fried Onions.
Maybe you'd want this one too.
It contains no icky canned creamed condensed soup either.
My inspiration for this dish (besides a huge new tub of baby spinach from Costco?)?
I will admit to having a half used container of French's Fried onions in my fridge longer than someone should. I think I used them on a salad this Summer sometime.. but really what do you do with leftover french fried onions besides nibble on them as you peruse the fridge's contents of the fridge wondering WHAT is for dinner tonight?
Sorry, no picture of the ingredients today... this recipe came together too fast and I had not intention of blogging it until I took the first bite.
