APPLE BOURBON INFUSION

(For Up To 20+ Servings)

In your large mason jar add in:

10 Red Royal Gala & 10 Green Granny Smith Apples sliced to your preference.  I suggest rotating the red & green colors.  Top with a heavy portion of lemon juice. (This prevents the apples from turning brown quickly).

1.75 bottle of Makers Mark (add over top the layered to the top apples).

Top with 5 cinnamon sticks (these can be floating in the jar).

Marinate in the refrigerator for 2-3 days before serving (This recipe taste improves with marinating).

Simply, pull jar out of  refrigerator and place on counter. Served on the rocks in a rocks glass or straight up in a Martini glass.

If serving straight up….place in infusion in shaker over ice.  Shake & pour into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a slice of spiced apple (dip one slice of apple in simple syrup & top with cinnamon & sugar mixture).
