Rudolphs apple sling is the creation of sam gauthier at new yorks boilermaker. Its a homage to his experience of sitting around a christmas tree, eating a slice of baked apple pie. Gauthier garnishes the glass with a spritz of pine-y gin like st. George terroir, to amp up the christmas-morning scent. If you dont happen to have a spray bottle of gin on hand, you can leave it off. A garnish of spruce tips or rosemary wouldnt be out of place but we like how it looks with one brandied cherry at the bottom, red like rudolphs nose.
