This apple whisky cocktail combines vibrant apple purée, whisky and fresh lemon juice with a cinnamon and demerara sugar rim for a drink that's sweet, sharp and warming.

With its bright apple flavour and theatrical presentation, the Poison Apple makes a particularly fitting Halloween apple cocktail, although its combination of apple, cinnamon and whisky works throughout autumn.

The recipe makes two cocktails in just 10 minutes and is finished with crystallised ginger for a final fiery bite.
