Tips for Perfecting Your Apple Mountain Dew Cocktail
1. Choosing the Right Apple Vodka For the best flavor, opt for a high-quality apple vodka. Brands that use natural apple flavors will enhance the taste of your cocktail, making it richer and more aromatic.
2. Fresh vs. Bottled Lemon Juice While bottled lemon juice is convenient, using fresh lemon juice will give your cocktail a brighter and more authentic citrus kick. It’s worth squeezing a lemon or two for this recipe!
