Spring is at long last upon us and that means that those light and refreshing cocktails that we all love are soon to be back on the menu.
For Chez, he decided to 'bump up the schedule' and bring this lovely in... albeit a bit early... but it is still good, and the winner of the Star for March 20th, 2011.
If apple-goodness is what you long for, then this one should hit the spot right nicely, with good old American Apple Jack, apple juice (or cider), bits of Apple floating amongst the ice cubes and just the slightest fizz supplied by the champagne. This one is a keeper!
