Sips & Tips
Technique
Fresh lemon juice is the secret to making this taste like a real cocktail instead of candy. It adds acidity that the schnapps lacks.
Balance
Sour apple schnapps varies wildly by brand. Taste yours first — if it's very sweet, increase the lemon juice. A splash of fresh apple juice adds authenticity.
