Spooky apple season is upon us and I’m all about it 🍎

I’ve been passing these apples for weeks now at the Union Square Farmer’s market and it was high time to embrace the call.

Who doesn’t love a margarita-or even better, a margarita AT MIDNIGHT? ORRR a margarita paired with PRACTICAL MAGIC?? We’re talking OG version, not the remake.

That being said, in honor of Practical Magic season (which honestly, is all year) here’s an apple cider, mezcal margarita to wake your besties up with. Cackle, scream, and dabble in spells at your will!

If you’ve been to the farmers market in NYC the past few weeks, you’ve probably been stopped in your tracks by the intoxicating scent of Concord grapes.

I finally made my way back and made a cocktail special for @pizzeriapanina ; a Concord Grape Gimlet, if you will. We’re calling her ‘Through the Grapevine’ 🍇🌿

Not your straightforward gimlet, of course. There’s so much to play with in season at the market. I toasted up some fig leaves to infuse in the gin- it imparts a vanilla/ coconut flavor. I also added Mexican marigold mint and Tulsi basil for layers of aromatics.

The grapes were cooked down with white sugar and water, brought down to simmer with a couple more handfuls of the aromatics. Once cooled, everything was gently pressed down and strained to preserve as much flavor as possible.

When all is said and done, we’re working with:
1.5 oz infused gin
1 oz fresh lime juice
.75 oz grape syrup
.5 oz burrata whey
*One trick I love, is using burrata or mozzarella whey as a foaming agent- we always have it on hand, so why waste it?

What’s stopping you in your tracks at the market these days?
