Squeeze the Moment with Absolut Juice x So Yummy

Nothing says five o’clock quite like a refreshing cocktail. When it comes to cocktail creations, the tools, ingredients and even the terminology can all feel slightly overwhelming. You want an Instagram-worthy drink without having to go through too much fuss. That’s why So Yummy partnered with Absolut® Juice to bring you these dazzling drinks you can easily make from the comfort of your own home.

Absolut® Juice is the the Absolut® Vodka you love, mixed with a splash of fruit juice. You can easily add soda for a sensational fruity drink that is perfect on its own, or if you go big and bold like us, you can use these recipes to elevate your happy hour to a whole new level.

The cherry on top makes the sundae look complete. So Yummy loves to garnish our cocktails so they always look polished and professional. An Absolut® Juice Appletini with a caramel rim is a delightful play on the classic carnival treat. The elegant look of the rim transforms the beverage into a magical, whimsical moment. Fruit marbled ice cubes are another easy way to transform any drink from plain to positively photogenic! Add this ice to an Absolut® Juice and Soda for a unique beverage that is still simple and tasty.

It’s easy to get crafty with your cocktails when you’re pouring Absolut® Juice.

Absolut® Juice Appletini

Serves 1 person responsibly  

Ingredients: 

• 3 oz Absolut® Juice Apple
• 1 oz cinnamon liqueur
• 4 oz apple cider

Ingredients for Caramel Rim:

• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• A coupe glass works best for this rim

Directions:

1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, let sugar start to melt, then stir constantly until sugar reaches a golden-brown color. Remove from heat immediately and continue to stir. The caramel should thicken as it cools. Keep stirring and once you can remove your spoon and the caramel ribbons off it, it’s ready.
2. Dip a coupe glass into the sugar and slowly pull out, twisting the sugar as you remove the glass.
3. Hold upside down for about 30 seconds and then stand up to finish cooling. Be ready to move quickly because the sugar does not stay at this consistency for long. Best to dip one glass and pull it out then immediately dip the next.
