As a bartender, I used to not be in love with drinks that required a shaken egg white. At home, with a shaker, these types of drinks are pleasure to make in small quantities. This drink is a simple mix of citrus with reduced apple cider, Applejack brandy, egg whites, and club soda.
The recipe below is for one cocktail.

Applejack Brandy Fizz
Ingredients
- ½ cup of fresh apple cider, reduced down to 1oz
- 1.5 oz Applejack brandy
- ½ oz simple syrup
- ¼ oz freshly-squeezed lemon juice
- ½ oz freshly-squeezed lime juice
- 1.5 oz club soda
- 1 small slice of fresh apple, as garnis
Instructions
- Reduce ½ cup of fresh apple cider down to 1oz on the stove in a small sauce pot.
- Chill reduced apple cider down until it is cool.
- When the reduced apple cider has chilled, mix it with the Applejack brandy, simple syrup, lemon juice, and lime juice in a dry shaker tin.
- Shake vigorously for 60 seconds.
- Add ice to the mix, and shake vigorously for another 60 seconds.
- Strain the mixture into chilled glasses, topped with a splash of club soda and the fresh apple slice garnish.
Notes
It is easier to make these egg-white shaken cocktails one or two at a time.
