Ingredients
- 5cl THE DUKE Wanderlust Gin
- 4 cl clear apple juice
- 1 Dash Angostura Bitters
- Herbal lemonade, e.g. Eizbach Alpengrantler
- 1 slice of beetroot
Preparation
Add gin, apple juice and bitters to a highball glass with ice and stir with a bar spoon. Then pour in herbal lemonade and put a wedge of beetroot in the glass. Some of the root beets should reach into the glass so that a little of the color and aroma passes into the drink.
Tips
- Add the filler last and stir once at most, so the carbonation stays in the glass.
- Stirring rather than shaking keeps the drink clear; shaken it would turn cloudy.
Variations
- Berry Gin Collins: With fresh berries.
- Blueberry Smash: With lime juice.
- flower meadow: With peanut vanilla syrup.
- Drippin' Beetroot: With Faude Beetroot Spirit.
Frequently asked questions
Which spirit goes into the Apple bed?
We mix it with THE DUKE Wanderlust Gin. Another gin from our house works too, but shifts the character: the Munich Dry Gin is strong and spicy and the Rough Gin fruitier and milder.
How long does the Apple bed take?
About 3 minutes. It is built in the glass, and you need a bar spoon and ice.
Which glass is the Apple bed served in?
We serve it in a highball glass. Fill it with ice first so the drink stays cold longer.
Is the Apple bed hard to mix?
It is one of the simple ones: no shaker needed. The defining ingredients are THE DUKE Wanderlust Gin, clear apple juice and Angostura Bitters.
