Get toasty with our new JUICI Old Fashioned cocktail! It’s the perfect drink to help you embrace the cold winter months. Typically, Old Fashioned cocktails are made with cherries and orange, but we’ve updated this classic recipe with a fresh spin using JUICI apples from Starr Ranch® Growers.
JUICI apples are the perfect balance of sweet and tart which means it’s flavor is unmatched! This apple has thin skin so there’s no need to peel this sweet fruit when you’re ready for a snack – or a drink! For this recipe we cooked diced JUICI’s with warming cinnamon, nutmeg, and a little brown sugar to sweeten this boozy cocktail. TIP: if you like your Old Fashioned’s on the sweeter side, add a drizzle of maple syrup or simple syrup to the glass.
Here’s how to layer this cocktail –
Add 2-3 tbsp of cooked JUICI apples. If adding maple syrup or simple syrup, add this now.
Top with crushed ice.
Add 1-2 shots of good bourbon. Option to top with ginger beer, strong ginger ale, or just a little seltzer water for bubbles.
Garnish with JUICI Apple and a cinnamon stick. Stir and enjoy!
As you need a ‘top-off’ just add more ice and bourbon. As the ice melts, the diced apple will slip through as you sip – YUM!
Ingredients:
- 3 JUICI Apples – small dice or grated
- 3 Tbsp Brown Sugar
- 3 tsp cinnamon
- Dash nutmeg
- 1/4 cup (or more as needed) water
- Your favorite Bourbon
Directions:
- Place small diced or grated JUICI apples and all other ingredients into a small saucepan over medium heat. Mix to combine well.
- Cook for about 10 minutes or until the JUICI apples have softened and most of the liquid has cooked down.

- Top with sparkling water (if desired) and garnish with cinnamon stick and JUICI apple slice.
