The Secret to Perfect Apple Cocktails (It’s Not What You Think)

I love this time of year. Kids back in school, cooler nights, and apples, loads and loads of apples. It's in these moments we are tested as Cocktail Dads. We must rise to the occasion and find the most nobel of uses for the fruit of the season. And of course that means cocktails. Delicious, apple flavored cocktails, made with all fresh ingredients of course. Enjoy these 3 amazing fall cocktails made from a single apple concentrate.
