DC Food Blogger Happy Hour Wednesday was hosted by Wendy Brannen of USApples and myself at Roofers Union in Adams Morgan (in the former space of The Reef). We sampled a variety of Executive Chef Marjorie Meek-Bradley‘s delicious apple themed dishes and a great cocktail Bartender Frank Mills created. Frank named the cocktail “How Do You Like Dem Apples” and provided us with the below recipe (for an individual cocktail):
- 2 ounces Red Jacket Apple Cider
- 1 ounce Half Moon Orchard Gin (made with apples and wheat)
- 1/2 ounce Laird’s Apply Brandy
- 1/2 ounce Domino’s Light Brown sugar
- 1/4 ounce fresh lemon juice
- 2 dashes Angostura Aromatic Bitters
- The punch bowl included apple slices.
