Eat & Drink Your Apples with a Spicy Apple Old-Fashioned!
It’s fall, and my thoughts turn to all things apple. How about making a Spicy Apple Old-Fashioned!
Monash University has lab tested apples and reports that 20 grams of Pink Lady apple are considered low FODMAP.
YAY!
20 grams doesn’t seem like a lot, but as an ingredient in a cocktail, those 20 grams make their presence known!!!
To “see” what 20 grams looks like, check out our article, Are Apples Low FODMAP?.
For this recipe I peeled the Pink Lady apple, roughly chopped it, and then muddled the whiskey into it.
I leave the apple in the bottom of the glass. By the time you drink the cocktail, the apple is infused with the other ingredients and is super delicious!
So you kind of get an apple drink and an apple snack at the same time!
