Step 1

Combine shredded ginger and whiskey in sealed container. Refrigerate 1-2 hours. The longer it sits, the stronger the ginger flavor will be. Strain ginger if desired.

Step 2

Warm honey in small bowl for 5 seconds to thin.

Step 3

In a cocktail shaker, combine ginger whiskey, sparkling apple juice, warmed honey, and ice.

Step 4

In two single barrel or wide-mouth glasses, place ice spheres and apple slices. Divide cocktail between two glasses.

Step 5

NOTE: To make the garnished rim, dip the glass in honey and then in turbinado sugar. Can drip easily, so freeze until ready to serve.
