Fall is now in full swing, and that means shorter days and colder nights. It also means that it’s time to make that annual trip to the apple orchard.  Fight off the chill and follow up your trip with this easy-to-make drink that captures the flavors of the season.

EXPERIENCE: For this one, you’re going to need gin, apple juice, lime juice, and honey, as well as a simple shaker and strainer. Take two parts gin, one part apple juice, and one-half part of lime juice and honey respectively. Add these to a shaker and fill with ice. Shake and strain into the nearest drink receptacle (a rocks glass is suggested) and add ice. Garnish with an apple slice if you have an apple lying around. The result is a drink with a sweet apple taste sharpened by the presence of gin.
ADVICE: If you’re going to make this one the start of your night, consider swapping one part gin for some more apple juice. Your liver will thank you.
