RECIPE: Apple Blossom Cocktail from Greensand Ridge Distillery

Autumn is a special time at Greensand Ridge Distillery. As the air turns crisp, we turn our focus to distilling soft fruit harvests and processing Kentish apples in the courtyard – a true celebration of the season.

This year, autumn brings more than just a change in the weather. Over the past 12 months, our founder has been working alongside sustainability experts from global names like Bacardi and Pernod Ricard to co-create a sustainability toolkit tailored for the distillery sector. It’s been an honour to represent micro-distillers in this space and to have our efforts recognised in the Global Drinks Intel ESG Awards. It’s a project that has sparked real momentum for change in the industry, and we’re proud to be part of it.

Seasonal Serve: The Apple Blossom

With apples in abundance, now is the perfect moment to try our seasonal cocktail recommendation: The Apple Blossom.

This one’s for the Manhattan and Old Fashioned lovers – a beautifully balanced, autumnal twist using our Apple Brandy:

  • 50ml Apple Brandy
  • 40ml Light aperitif or sweet vermouth (we love Cocchi Rosa Americano)
  • 2 dashes orange bitters

Stir all ingredients with ice until chilled and diluted to your taste, then fine strain into a chilled glass. Simple, elegant, and packed with flavour.
